I'm implementing a rating function in our bot (thumbs up, thumbs down). But when I display the Choices, the user can always continue to enter text. Which does not help, because I'm expecting a rating - not a new question - at that moment. So entering text leads to annoying retries and finally errors. Is it possible to prevent the user from entering text manually?

Hey there You can't disable the input field but you can add a custom retry message prompting the user for a rating

Thank you! I think that might be too obnoxious. My choice so far is to make the rating optional and react on any text entered in a normal way. But I think it's strange that there is no option to disable free text entry.

I showed my bot with this problem to 3 different types of users all of them kept on doing this mistake kept on entering in text area free flow AI chat while workflow is waiting on choice.

@green-policeman-96580 Exactly my experience.

Take a look at this: https://discord.com/channels/1108396290624213082/1211400458329923636 Here you can make you own chatwindow, where you would be able to disable the input field when ever you want to
