In the domain.yml should all utterances in the templates section be listed in the actions section. In all of the examples I have seen, this seems to be the case. Including the recent rasa-demo example domain.yml by @erohmensing.
In the Rasa Domain documentation example there are 6 utterances and all of them are listed in both the templates and actions section.
Should all utternances be listed in the actions section or only those used in a story?
In my experience working with Rasa, i’ve only listed the utters which are used in the stories and it seems to work fine.
See Utterance actions
It’s good practice to list them all in the actions so that you can use them in the stories; however, you’re right, only those that are used directly as actions (rather than called from e.g. a from or dispatcher.utter_template) need to be listed in the actions list.
@erohmensing, I thought it was convention or good practice to list them all but this is not the case for Rasa X. Rasa X will give you warnings on the Domain page if you have templates that are listed in actions but not used in a story.
Hm, that’s a good point. We’ll continue the discussion there.
