When I type option 3. into the chat it's automatically converting it to 1

A very bizarre thing is happening.

The task is to give the user a numbered list of ideas.

The user types in the number they want to explore (eg. 3.)

But the chat is automatically converting that number to 1.

The chat then proceeds to give me the details for 3. (see screenshot attached where I typed and entered 3.)

What do you think is going on?

Thanks

Hi @brainsparker, thanks so much for your question! We’ve run into this problem before - sometimes, bots have a difficult time with ordered lists. We recommend that you add a line to your prompt specifying that responses should be in markdown - responses formatted that way should make it easier for your bots to manage. Let me know if that helps!

Thanks @lindsay_support The crazy thing is that it only happens when I type the “.” after the number, eg “1.” I’ve updated the language to specify responses to be in markdown, and change the example output to show 1: instead of 1.
