Rasa interactive generates too long story for simple form. Should I really use it?

Rasa Open Source

Hi, I have a simple form:

forms:
  demo_form:
    ignored_intents: 
      - invoice_time
    required_slots:
      - demo_only
      - demo_period
      - demo_nature
      - demo_data
      - demo_paper_front
      - demo_paper_front_confirm
      - demo_paper_back
      - demo_paper_back_confirm
      - demo_paper_selfie
      - demo_paper_selfie_confirm
      - demo_payment
      - demo_payment_confirm

and 2 rules to handle the form:

- rule: activate demo form
  steps:
    - intent: firma   # intent that triggers form activation
    - action: demo_form      # run the form
    - active_loop: demo_form

- rule: Submit demo form
  condition:
  # Condition that form is active.
  - active_loop: demo_form
  steps:
  # Form is deactivated
  - action: demo_form
  - active_loop: null
  - slot_was_set:
    - requested_slot: null
  # The actions we want to run when the form is submitted.
  - action: action_demo_submit

Everything is OK here. But when using rasa interactive to generate a story it generates a long story with every requested_slot and every intent the input matches. For exemple: the slot demo_period definition is:

demo_period:
    type: text
    mappings:
      - type: from_text
        conditions:
          - active_loop: demo_form
            requested_slot: demo_period

But the rasa interactive includes the intent plan_duration which has nothing to do here. it also set the value I inserted which is irrelevant because the user can insert any text.

Another problem with this is that if I generate multiple stories for the same form and I add new slots or remove some slots I will have trouble updating those stories.

This is the story it generates:

- story: interactive_story_1
  steps:
  - intent: greet
  - action: utter_greet
  - intent: firma
  - action: demo_form
  - active_loop: demo_form
  - slot_was_set:
    - requested_slot: demo_only
  - intent: confirm_service
  - slot_was_set:
    - demo_only: 1
  - action: demo_form
  - slot_was_set:
    - requested_slot: demo_period
  - intent: plan_duration
    entities:
    - plan_duration: '3'
  - slot_was_set:
    - demo_period: '3'
  - slot_was_set:
    - plan_duration: '3'
  - intent: plan_duration
    entities:
    - plan_duration: '3'
  - action: demo_form
  - slot_was_set:
    - demo_period: null
  - slot_was_set:
    - requested_slot: demo_period
  - intent: plan_duration
    entities:
    - plan_duration: '3'
  - slot_was_set:
    - demo_period: '3'
  - slot_was_set:
    - plan_duration: '3'
  - action: demo_form
  - slot_was_set:
    - demo_period: 3-años-35.85

No, don’t use rasa interactive to create stories.

This is very very confusing because the official documentation say this here Forms

Again, it is strongly recommended that you use interactive learning to build these stories.

Thanks for pointing this out from the docs. This should be remove.
