Hello everyone,

Rasa 2.8

I have a form with slots that are suppose to bem filled with user input, regardless the intent/entity that is found in it. After that form been completed I want the bot to continues with the following utterances, pretty simple! But the problem is that **after the form is done the bot sends only one utterance and opens for user input**. But the slots are filled, don’t make any sense!

Can someone give me a light on this?

Form:

```auto
  weekly_no_data_form:
    required_slots:
      weekly_rating_obstacle:
      - type: from_text
      weekly_future_help:
      - type: from_text

```

Stories:

```auto
- story: weekly without data
  steps:
  - intent: greet
  - action: utter_common_node
  - action: action_router
  - action: action_who_validation
  - action: action_weekly_validation
  - action: utter_weekly_time_check
  - intent: approve
  - action: action_weekly_summary
  - slot_was_set:
    - weekly_timestamp: 1652375910.103515
  - action: utter_weekly_no_reports
  - action: weekly_no_data_form
  - active_loop: weekly_no_data_form

- story: weekly without redirecting to greet
  steps:
    - action: weekly_no_data_form
    - active_loop: null
    - action: utter_feedback_received (after this utterance the bot open to user input)
    - action: utter_weekly_why_track
    - action: utter_weekly_no_mood
    - action: utter_weekly_mood_redirect
    - action: action_greet_dr
    - intent: inform_mood

```

My rules:

```auto
  - rule: Desactivate weekly checkin form
    condition:
    - active_loop: weekly_checkin_form
    steps:
    - action: weekly_checkin_form
    - active_loop: null
    - slot_was_set:
      - requested_slot: null
    - action: utter_weekly_end_form
    wait_for_user_input: false

  - rule: Activate weekly no data form
    steps:
    - action: weekly_no_data_form
    - active_loop: weekly_no_data_form
    
  - rule: Desactivate weekly no data form
    condition:
    - active_loop: weekly_no_data_form
    steps:
    - action: weekly_no_data_form
    - active_loop: null
    - slot_was_set:
      - requested_slot: null
    - action: utter_feedback_received
    wait_for_user_input: false

```

My slots:

```auto
  weekly_rating_obstacle:
    type: text
    influence_conversation: true
  weekly_future_help:
    type: text
    influence_conversation: true

```

I’m confused by your combination of stories and rules but they look like they contradict each other.

- One story and two rules starting with `weekly_no_data_form`. I don’t see the point of the `Activate weekly no data form` rule.
- Not sure I’ve ever seen a story end with an intent. Not sure what the use case is for that
- You have a rule ending with `wait_for_user_input: false` but no story or rule to pick up from the last action in that rule. I would expect that result in the bot going quiet. It doesn’t surprise me that you are having issues with this set of stories/rules. Start with short, simpler stories/rules and watch the rasa debug log closely to see what the dialogue model is predicting.
