Slot Setting and Filling from Button

[asaiyed10]

Rasa Core version:
11.3
Python version: 2.7

Operating system (windows, osx, ...):
ox
Issue:

These buttons that are not setting slots when selected by the user.

I think im using the correct / intent { entitiy : } relationship, maybe I'm missing something obvious? My slot and entities are named the same....
The code is below. I would like the slot to set the type of cough selected by the user

domain.yml

slots:
  cough:
    type: text
    initial_value: "empty"

intents: 
  - symptoms_cough_wheezing
  - symptoms_cough_difficult

entities:
  - cough


templates: 

     utter_cough:
      - text: "You seem to be experiencing a cough. Please select the best description"
        buttons:
          - title: I am experiencing wheezing
            payload: '/symptoms_cough_wheezing{"cough":"wheezing"}'

          - title: Are you having shortness of breath? 
            payload: '/symptoms_cough_difficult{"cough":"shortness of breath"}'

##cough 1
* symptoms_cough
  - utter_cough
* symptoms_cough_wheezing{"cough": "wheezing"}
  - slot{"cough": "wheezing"}
  - action_1

##cough 2
* symptoms_cough
  - utter_cough
* symptoms_cough_wheezing{"cough": "difficult"}
  - slot{"cough": "difficult"}
  - action_2

This should be setting the slots, yes. Could you post the debug log of where the'yre not getting set?

Sorry, maybe I meant filling slots?

I want the value to be stored in slot "cough"

[akelad]

ahhh the problem is you're typing "2", on the command line you have to copy the payload and send that as the message. Please try that and let me know if it works!

[naoko]

Yes as per @akelad , literally, you want to type /symptoms_cough_difficult{"cough":"shortness of breath"}

[akelad]

@asaiyed10 does that solve your problem?

[asaiyed10]

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your help! It worked

I have a button with the title "Low". Whenever a user clicks this button I want this title("Low") should be set as the slot value. This particular button is mapped to an intent "incident". The slot name is "priority". Can anyone suggest to me how to achieve this?

Hello, Do you know how can I set a slot of type list using an action server? I am trying to create a checklist functionality I have the frontend ready but I am stuck on how to set the slot. This is a sample code. The idea is when the button is pressed it sets a slot of type List (a list of strings). I am using Rasa 3.0.3. I would really appreciate your help.

action.py

class ActionAskFeelings(Action):

    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_ask_feelings"

    async def run(self,
                  dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
                  tracker: Tracker,
                  domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:

        app_dict = {
            'products': ['happy', 'great']
        }
        app_json = json.dumps(app_dict)
        dispatcher.utter_message(
            text='How do you feel',
            buttons=[
                {
                    "title": "great",
                    "type": "postback",
                    "payload": "/tell_hello_world{}".format(app_json),
                },
                {
                    "title": "super sad",
                    "type": "postback",
                    "payload": "/mood_sad",
                }
            ]
        )
        # dispatcher.utter_message(attachment=MOCK_SCHEMA)
        return []

I defined the slot in this way on domain.yml

slots:
  products:
    type: list
    mappings:
      - type: custom

This is the warning message I got

I created an action to print the slot value after pressing the button, but it is always empty
