Assume Issue¶

Definition¶

<assume_issue type="question_type" predicate="p">

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

Attribute	Type	Description
type	string	Optional. The type can take one of the values `wh_question` or `yn_question`, but defaults to `wh_question`.
predicate	string	Required. This attribute specifies the predicate of the raised question.

Parents¶

Children¶

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"/>
