## find\_issues

- find\_issues{“type”:“team”, “id”:“vi.kumar”}
  - slot{“check”: true}
  - action\_find\_issues
  - slot{“id” : null}
  - slot{“type”: null}
  - slot{“check”: false}

class ActionFindIssues(Action):  
def name(self):  
return ‘action\_find\_issues’  
def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):  
print(“action\_find\_issues”)  
check = tracker.get\_slot(“check”)  
print("check = ", check)

Problem is - slot “check” is not getting set to True , when intent “find\_issues” is trigerred.  
from actions.py when i print check , output is None kindly help me through this.

`- slot{...}` doesn’t set any slots, it is an indicator that a slot was set by entity or previously executed action

@GhostvvSo I need to call a custom action for this and set the slot from there right.
