The plan item that assumes that a question is relevant to the user. Defines a question that should be assumed.

None.

Behaviour

Using the element has exactly the same effect as if the user would have asked the question. The element defines a question through its attributes. The issue (or question) that is assumed, must have a resolve-goal in the domain file.

Examples

Assume-issue entry for assuming the issue about the departure time (which is the resolve goal of another plan):

<assume_issue type="wh_question" predicate="flight_departure"/>
