Use_entities won't prevent next bot action

Hello, We have tried to manage how we can work with use_entities, but it does not seem to work as expected. If the entity(value) is matched in some other intent, it still affects next bot action, which results with fallback.

So if we have:

intents:
- test_number:
    use_entities:
      - number
slots:
  number:
    type: float
    influence_conversation: true
    min_value: 1
    max_value: 10
nlu:
- intent: test_number
  examples: |
    - I want number [3]{"entity": "number"}
    - Number [3]{"entity": "number"} please
    - Give me [5]{"entity": "number"}
    - I would like [6]{"entity": "number"}
    - [8]{"entity": "number"} please, quick
    - Only [5]{"entity": "number"} thank you
    - I want [8]{"entity": "number"} please
- lookup: number
  examples: |
    - 5
    - 8
    - 6
    - 3

using config

version: "2.0"
language: en
policies:
- name: AugmentedMemoizationPolicy
  max_history: 6
- name: TEDPolicy
  max_history: 6
  epochs: 20
- name: RulePolicy
  core_fallback_threshold: 0.4
  core_fallback_action_name: action_core_fallback
pipeline:

  intent_tokenization_flag: true
  intent_split_symbol: +

  analyzer: char_wb
  min_ngram: 1
  max_ngram: 4
- name: DIETClassifier
  epochs: 100
- name: EntitySynonymMapper
- name: ResponseSelector
  epochs: 100
- name: FallbackClassifier
  threshold: 0.7
  ambiguity_threshold: 0.1

Then if the number occurs in some other intent in chat(stories only) with the bot, for example user writes How are you 8 which is intent mood - see the intentionally added ending number here - mood intent has not defined use_entities (even if we use ignore_entities with this specific entity), it did match the right intent mood + slot number was filled with 8, but the bot does not know what action do next, it does fallback, which is wrong, it should not affect the story flow.

Sometimes it even matches the intent test_number because of the entity value on the end.

Can you please tell what could be wrong? Thanks.

In 3.0, you can restrict your number slot mapping to only apply with the test_number intent:

entities:
- number
slots:
  number:
    type: any
    mappings:
    - type: from_entity
      entity: number
      intent: test_number
      not_intent: excluded_intent

Thank you @stephens , but we will be glad if there is any solution for 2.4 version.
