amazon lex regarding slot types used

Question

I am facing problem regarding the slot types used. I want a slot type that must take any kind of input from the user and it must be of free formed data. I had already tried using the AMAZON.POSTALADDRESS but it failed many times and it is asking the question again and again.
I had also tried using the AMAZON.STREETADDRESS it also failed and the bot is repeating the question again and again and quitting out of the app.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

You can try this:

Make a slot
Do not tick required option
In the DialogCodeHook, make the slot value NULL
Now, check if the slot is NULL then provide ElicitSlot
In ElicitSlot, take the inputTranscript and assign it to the slot value

slots = intent_request['currentIntent']['slots'] slots['your_slot'] = intent_request['inputTranscript']

Hope it helps.

I hope it will help.
