Listing entities in intents like Dialogflow and Watson

I am facing a real issue, I don't what I am looking for is not provided by rasa or it is just I can't find it.

Now, I was using IBM Watson and Dialogflow. Entities are divided into:

and when you refer to intents training data you just type the entity name or sub-entity name and one time only

example: Entity: iPhone Sub-entitiies:

1) iphone7

synanoms: iphone seven, iPhone 7, i Phone 7, iPhone svn

2) iphone8

synanoms: iphone eight, iPhone 8, i Phone 8, iPhone eight

3) iPhone12

synanoms: iphone twelce, iPhone 12, i Phone 12, iPhone 12

intent training sample: I want to buy @iphone

**-----------------------------------------------------------------**

but in rasa the only possible way is to add it like that: (just for clarification)

I want to buy [iphone seven]{"entity": "iPhone", "value": "iphone7"}

I want to buy [iphone seven] (iPhone)

I want to buy [iPhone 7] {"entity": "iPhone", "value": "iphone7"}

I want to buy [i Phone 7] {"entity": "iPhone", "value": "iphone7"}

I want to buy [iphone eight] {"entity": "iPhone", "value": "iphone8"}
....
... etc

Listing entities in intents by this way is an absolute hassle, especially that I have already huge data set and it will make my intents increase 100x times and I believe it will cause overfitting.

Is there any way to list my entities as I list them in Watson or Dialogflow?

Yes, there is a form is: You must use lookups. There is how:

- intent: dice_su_nombre
  examples: |
    - my name is [fran](name)
    - my name is [felipe](name)

- lookup: name
  examples: |
    - fran
    - gianluca
    - felipe
    - felix

You can define synonyms in your training data, like so:

nlu:
- synonym: credit
  examples: |
    - credit card account
    - credit account

Read more here. I'm not as sure what you're trying to achieve with the sub-entities. If you can tell me more, I can try to help you figure out the best way to solve this with Rasa tools.
