Back and forth conversation in Watson conversation

How can I achieve back and forth conversation in watson conversation service? In the image when the true node is reached the next node to traverse will be based on the input provided. If the second input is provided at the same level then the watson will go back to root node.

Let me know how to stay on same node and respond to differnt user input. Thanks.

What you described is how Conversation works. As you move down branches, it will attempt to match a node. If it does not find a matching node in a branch, it will return to the root to find the answer.

To prevent this your last node in the branch has to be a true condition and then either a message, and/or a continue from to return to the correct point in the branch.

I did a blog post on this a while back.
