Hello Uday. Thanks for you suggestions. I had previously read the blog you are suggesting; I believe however that there is an issue within the **‘retrieval intent’** / **ResponseSelector** / **‘rasa data validate’** since **rasa 2.x**.

There are have a number of post overs the last two months regarding the issues I am reporting but no real solution as far I could find. See for example:

Thank you for interest. Gino
