So it looks like you’re successfully extracting the entities, your question seems to be more “how can I extract the same entity and store it to different slots in a single intent”, right? You could use a list slot for this (there’s some discussion here: [How to pupulate a slot of type list - #4 by ganeshv](http://forum.rasa.com/t/how-to-pupulate-a-slot-of-type-list/8919/4)) but you’ll probably need to write a little custom code to assign the right qualities to the right order. Another question to consider is: is this a pattern you’re seeing users try? If it is, then it definitely makes sense to try and address it now even if it takes a bit of finagling. If it’s not & something you think they _might_ do, then I’d skip working on it until you have good evidence that it’s functionality that folks want. (As a just-in-case measure, you could include a rule that detects multiple intents and asks the user to list items in their order one-at-a-time.) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.rasa.com/t/whats-the-best-way-to-extract-multiple-entities-within-the-same-intent-and-retrieve-its-numerical-value/46981)._
