Getting a INFO warning when running training and shell;

```auto
rasa.core.policies.ensemble - MappingPolicy not included in policy ensemble. 
Default intents 'restart and back will not trigger actions 'action_restart' and 'action_back'.

```

even though my config.yml looks like:

```auto
language: en
pipeline: supervised_embeddings
policies:
- name: MappingPolicy
- name: KerasPolicy 

```

Any ideas about why the MappingPolicy is not registered for the `rasa.core.policies.ensemble` ? Annoying not being able to restart a conversation within the shell.

@Narogus did you retrain your bot after having added MappingPolicy?

Yes. The warning comes up both during training, and when running the shell.

I have been trying to run Rasa with docker. The Rasa version in the docker container is Rasa 1.3.0a2, found by running:

```auto
docker run -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa --version

```

In another local version (Rasa 1.2.7), not running in docker, I’m not experiencing this issue.

</div>

Hm, that’s strange, we’ll look into it. However i’d stick to the most recent published version (1.2.7) and not the alpha release, as they can be touchy.

Do you get the same issue is you run 1.2.7 in docker?

Ok, thanks!

No, I haven’t. I’ll try that, and get back to you!

The issue is related to the 1.3 release, it started when I updated to it.

Okay, yes I believe this is a bug and I know how to fix it. @ice2tricky could you create a github issue for this please?

Just want to know one more thing related to Mapping policy. Which is; what are the benefits of Mapping policy and when should we use it?

An example would be really helpful in case of form actions.

Like if the form action is activated and requested slot is “XYZ” but user asked for the time that is mapped to an action ‘action\_get\_time’ after performing the action and event UtteranceReverted(), how can a bot re-ask the user for the ‘XYZ’ slot?

</div>

Mhm so if you add the intent that maps to the action to the `not_intent` of the slot mappings, it should let the other policies (e.g. mapping) handle the input. then on the next turn the form policy will jump back in again.

Take a look at the form documentation here, it will help you understand my comment [Forms](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/forms/#custom-slot-mappings)

</div>

ok i get your comment, but the problem is still there, when the form policy jumps back again, it simply goes into to the action\_listen but i want to prompt the user for the slot that he had missed out previously by asking the bot for another intent that was mapped to some other action.
