About this proxy, you could use a custom action which would simply do what you said. Put this custom action just before the form action in your stories, something like this:

```
## ask for flight info
* request_flight_info
  - action_fill_extracted_slots
  - flight_info_form
  - form{"name": "flight_info_form"}
  - form{"name": null}

```

Now in the custom action, extract the values of the entity `GPE` (look into [`get_latest_entity_values`](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/rasa-sdk/#rasa_sdk.interfaces.Tracker.get_latest_entity_values)) and simply return slot set events to set the slot `origin` and `destination` with extracted values. This way when the form will activate, it’ll get those slots as filled and will not ask for it, otherwise it’ll ask.
