How to get the original value of the parameters that the user enters( after it has been parsed)

Question

I am not able to get the original value of the parameter that has been matched with the entity. I already have an output context and I can see the entity.original value in the request json, but I am not able to get the value. I have tried the methods this post (How do I get parameter value from arguments?) and this post (DialogFlow - Get original string associated with parameter) mentioned.But none seem to work. They simply return the entity name or undefined. Any help is appreciated.

Here is a part of the Request JSON

"outputContexts": [
      {
        "name": "projects/XXXXXXX/agent/sessions/XXXX/contexts/office",
        "lifespanCount": 1,
        "parameters": {
          "name": [
            "name"
          ],
          "name.original": [
            "scott"
          ]
        }
          },

I want to get the "name.original" value.

Figured it out: let value = conv.contexts.input.${"_input-context's name_"}.parameters[""matched_parameters_name".original"]; Which still seems like a cumbersome way. If there is any other way to find out the value. Do tell. Thank you – — Aditya Das, Jul 26 '19 at 00:42
There is another hack, where instead of input context you can put this. let value = conv.contexts.input.actions_capability_screen_output.parameters['"matched_parameters_name"'formNames.original']; — Aditya Das, Jul 26 '19 at 00:43

What you can do is within dialogflow, add a new parameter that has a value of the name of the parameter you want the original text of, and add .original.

Now when ever you want let's say date.original, you simply request originalDate.
