Mapping multi-word phrases to "value"

[PrajnyaSatish]

Hi,
I'm trying to map multiple word synonyms to a single value. For example,
{ "text": "how to save images?", "intent": "explain", "entities": [ { "start": 7, "end": 18, "value": "saveImages", "entity": "entityName" } ] },

The entity is detected correctly but the value is not what I expect --
{u'text': u'how to save images?', u'confidence': 0.8476407032279926, u'intent': u'explain', u'entities': [{u'start': 7, u'end': 18, u'value': u'save images', u'entity': u'entityName'}]}
Does rasa support this capability of mapping "save images" to a single value "saveImages"? (I have trained a lot of samples. About 10 samples for each different "value" in the entity entityName but I still don't see any improvement).

Value should be the text in the sentence whereas entity should be the type of the found sequence of words.

value represents the text found in the sentence. Why would you not want to receive the text from the sentence their?

When I used this feature in wit I used to map all synonyms to a particular value like "save images", "saving procedure", "saving images". I thought that was the function of this feature.

Also your documentation does specify this ability of value mapping synonyms.

see #151 - this should work fine

Yes, this is what I was looking for. Thank you.
