Hello my bot has a lot of forms and slots. Most of the slots are from_text and I don’t care what the user enters and the user could enter literally anything. For example, we ask for a sandbox name which could be anything and everything. My issue is that when I write stories I have to include the inform intent. I don’t want to have to populate the nlu for the inform intent. Is there anyway to write a story and test story that has forms without using the inform intent?
If your slots are defined with correct mapping then it should work. You can set slot values within custom actions.
So what do I do about the inform intent?

If you’re using forms, you don’t need stories. Typically you would have a rule to activate the form and to deactivate.

You should still have an inform intent. You can see an example of one and how it is used in the financial-demo here.
