Slots falsely filled with same intent value

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi, I’m quite new to Rasa and sadly haven’t figured out how to fill out slots in a form properly. Basically I have one form which loops through 2 questions or slots, which have both have same response options. Both slots save their values from the same intents. When the chatbot gets to the first slot of the form, then the right intent value will be saved. But unfortunately it automatically also saves this same intent value in the second slot. How can I go through the form and save the values in the slots independently?

  - greet
  - goodbye

  - disinterest
  - hopelessness

Hi @publicstaticvoidmai,

  1. you can take advantage of DucklingEntityExtractor
  2. have only one intent for the numbers followed by a custom action, where you fill the slot depending on the value(number)

I solved my problem using conditions in slots with “requested_slot”. But thanks for your answer!

slots:
  disinterest:
    type: float
    mappings:
    - type: from_intent
      intent: deny
      value: 0.0
      conditions:
      - active_loop: initial_phq_form
        requested_slot: disinterest
