My amazon Lex ElicitSlot repeats prompt. How do I continue the flow?

Food Order bot I have a branching dialog if a user asks for cheese on their burger, the bot will ask what type of cheese, but then return to the first question in the bot and continue to repeat the process.

Turns out as complexity increases AMAZON.AlphaNumeric doesn't work well. I used AMAZON.Movie instead also custom regex slots types would work.

In the ElicitSlot dialogAction response from the Lambda function, you are currently only returning the "CheeseSlot" value. If you do not return the values for the other slots, Lex treats them as null and as you noticed, it is expected for the entire flow to start again since the slots are marked as "Required".

So, in the response from the Lambda function, return all slots that have been filled while resetting the "CheeseSlot" value.
