1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

User is usually very lazy and they would never ask something like:
"How to change an oil filter on Honda Civic 2020, GAS, US model?"
they would say:
'How to change a filter?"

Same for any topic, any sphere.

Example for mortgage:
'Is it better to refinance or keep my loan?'

While in reality we need to know current payment, loan amount, years left, closing costs, etc. before we reply/

The only solution to address user laziness is to ask before responding with a final answer with some questions to clarify.

@crazywoola I noticed this issue was closed as "completed", but I haven't found this functionality in Dify yet. Could you please clarify:

  1. Has this "wait for user reply" feature been implemented?
  2. If yes, how can we pause the workflow/ChatFlow until receiving user's response before proceeding to the next step?

This would be very useful for scenarios where we need additional information from users to provide more accurate and relevant responses.

Thank you very much!
