Hi I am new RASA and I am unsure if this issue was discussed on this forum before but whenever I input date as a slot as DD-MM-YYYY format, the extractor by default adds spaces between the dashes.
Input : 21-02-2019
Stored as : 21 - 02 - 2019
This is a problem especially in passing date as a parameter for GET APIs.
I am forced to manually correct this but I am hoping for any tweaks to fix this permanently.
Thanks.

Are you using spacy tokenizer in your pipeline? I encountered a similar case and found this issue in github.
opened 02:39AM - 28 Nov 18 UTC

**Rasa Core version**: 0.11.8
**Python version**: Python 3.6.5
**Operating… system** (windows, osx, ...): CentOS-7
**Issue**:
There seems to be a problem when using categorical slots that contain embedded dashes. The online trainer automatically inserts spaces around the value text containing a dash. The scenario is briefly described below.
- The scenario relates to the bot agent supporting an Amazon VM boot. Refer the NLU training examples "examples-itsm-aws-start-ec2-instance.json.txt"
- The domain file contains a categorical slot named "**itsm_regionId**" which contains values with embedded dashes. I have used the escape code "\&\#45\;" to represent dash (-). _Please note that I also tried using dashes as well instead of the escape codes, but the issue of slot filling during interactive training still remains._
type: categorical
values:
- "ap-south-1"
- "eu-west-3"
- "eu-west-2"
- "eu-west-1"
- "ap-northeast-2"
- "ap-northeast-1"
- "sa-east-1"
- "ca-central-1"
- "ap-southeast-1"
- "ap-southeast-2"
- "eu-central-1"
- "us-east-1"
- "us-east-2"
- "us-west-1"
- "us-west-2"
- Now during interactive training, I enter the phrase "_Can you help with starting my AWS instance i-025bf165fc6952ef6 placed in region us-west-2?_". The slot value for "**itsm_regionId**" gets set to "us - west-2" instead of "us-west-2", somehow the online trainer adds a blank space around the first dash. Refer attached screenshot (.png files) from the online trainer.

Yes I am using spacy tokenizer.
I think I understood the problem. But I haven’t figured out the alternative.
