IBM Watson Conversation : Intent is not triggering the dialog, all user inputs lead to anything_else

I'm a complete newb in this field, so started with the tutorial in the documentation. This is the page where I'm having problem.

I'm able to create the welcome dialog, and changes in the anything_else dialog are reflecting fine. But when I create a new dialog and set the trigger to the intent, it does not work. I've tried typing in the name, copy pasting it, clicking on (create new condition) and not. Tried different browsers and restarted project too.

There is a dropdown on the text that I type in the bot panel that says choose intent name and gives the list of two intents I've made. When I try clicking on the intent it's supposed to be in, I get this error :

Unable to change the intent. Error: Unique Violation: The value "good morning" already exists

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and googling it gives no result! Comment sections on different websites too seem to be having no problem with it as well.

Any help is appreciated!

Based on attached JSON, your problem is that Watson conversation is stuck in the training process (if the pink message is showing a long time, that means he stuck). enter image description here

I cannot explain why it happened. But I know the solution, just use "conversation_start" instead of "welcome" trigger

Most probably, you placed "anything_else" node above your intent node. Anything_else should be the latest node, because watson is executing it sequentional, once he will find match, it will go into.

Be sure, that you have the same order: enter image description here
