Hello!

I am trying to create a custom component, which edits and updates the user input message. I am working on rasa version 2.3.4. I have read the documentation, the forum discussions, and have considered the different suggestions, but I can’t get it to work!!

my config.yml looks like this:

language: es

pipeline:

- name: edit\_message.Preprocessor
- name: SpacyNLP
  - model: es\_core\_news\_sm

and my custom component is here: [edit\_message.py](https://forum.rasa.com/uploads/short-url/7I7qDvSNYtis70eDF2x5bA15niT.py) (1.2 KB)

Can anybody help me?
