Answer 1

For access intents and entities, first, your user need to request something for calling this objects... And in this case, your application will access:
Name of entity (#fruits);
The value of your entity typed from your user
Your app will show Fruit:orange if you user type orange, and Watson will recognize the entity and the value and save inside entities.fruit[0], not all values from your entity inside #fruits, like this.
Access entity: IBM Official Documentation.
Anyway: I think you want all values. Right?
I guess that best form is using context variables to save all "fruits" and show like:
For this Dialog runtime context:
{
"context": {
"toppings_array": ["orange", "apple"]
}
}
Update:
{
"context": {
"toppings_array": "<? $toppings_array.append('banana', 'melon') ?>"
}
}
Result:
{
"context": {
"toppings_array": ["orange", "apple", "banana", "melon"]
}
}
Show for the user:
{
"output": {
"text": "This is the array: <? $toppings_array.join(', ') ?>"
}
}
All JSON Example:
{
"context": {
"fruits": [
"lemon",
"orange",
"apple"
]
},
"output": {
"text": {
"values": [
"This is the array: <? $fruits.join(', ') ?>"
],
"selection_policy": "sequential"
}
}
}
Result:
This is the array: lemon, orange, apple
