Why don't I have the option to enter "Custom data" in the "Create generative answers" action? There's nothing mentioned about it in the prerequisites in the documentation. Do you have any idea why?

[@MicrosoftTechy]

Hi - It must be there, may be you are missing some steps in this tutorial, please watch this again. The custom data will be in hidden section, you need to expand the classic data section from there you will get. If this helps you, please consider subscribing to my channel. Thank you!

Hi, Use the below reference article, you will get it from there.

@@MicrosoftTechy Can't we use a custom topic instead of a conversational boosting topic ?. When I try with custom topics I can trigger the topic and get the HTTP response correctly but It doesn't give generative answers from the response.

[@MicrosoftTechy]

Hi, yes, we can. Create a custom topic, there add the create generative answer node and disable your other unwanted out of the box topics if needed, that will ensure your custom topic will always be triggered. You can create your custom topic with the description than the empty template which will you add required trigger and other needed action automatically. Thank you!

@@MicrosoftTechy my custom topic always trigger and im getting the parsed get request values but my generative answer is not working. Even for a small query that couldnt recognize it from the rest output.

[@MicrosoftTechy]

Hi, you can try unchecking the AI generated answer checkbox from the Create Generative Answers node configuration. Thank you!
