When I’m using form and it creates requested slot, why Rasa not always fill that slot when the user answers the question? For example, I in the form I have slots origin\_type and destination\_type that may have the same values like walkup, elevator, private house etc. When the form asked for origin\_type and requested slot is origin\_type and the user replies “elevator building” Rasa may put it to the destination\_type and keep asking for origin\_type. I have in my stories examples for both answers for origin\_type and destination\_type. How to force Rasa always fill the requested slot since user is answering to the question, not trying to input irrelevant data?

Hi George - thanks for your question. Can you please run your bot with `--debug` turned on and show the output that you get?

Most strange thing is that when I use shell mode, it’s working correctly on all values! The problem occurs when I’m in X mode or SDK. Any ideas??
