How can I use a slot resolver strategy using dynamic variables?

Question

I have a api call to get a list of categories. From there I have another to get a list of subcategories. I see slot resolver strategies do not have access to the data element from the conversational process. Is there a way I can pass this information with input variables in a reliable way without asking the user for the category twice and letting them select a improper value?

Hey ​@andrewwhitleyWe are working towards releasing a feature that will allow you to use the response of one resolver in another. I’ll update this thread once I have more confirmation on dates!

They are similar to slots for now. If a dynamic slot resolver has input variables defined, then before the resolver's action is called, the assistant will follow up with the user and ask for those variables. Does that make sense?
