Watson assistant entity created with pattern is not setting the matched value in context variable

Question

I have created a entity which has pattern to match 5 digits only, below is the pattern for that.

^([0-9]{5})*?$

But in the node when I am checking for slots and adding the value into a context variable, it is always taking the value name from entity not the value which user is providing.

Below is the image for the node.

Answer 1

For patterns you need to add the literal suffix.

So change your 5th slot "Check for" to:

@Customer_Id.literal

Without this your context variable only stores the value of the entity found. Which in your case is the same as the entity name.
