Hello,

I don't think there is kind of intent as feature for an entity. You can do use entities as a signal for an intent. For example, the presence of a certain entity in the utterance can distinguish which intent does it fall under. Is this what you want?

To do this, you need to create your own intents and entities first. To add an entity as a feature to an intent, select the intent from the Intents page, then select + Add feature above the contextual toolbar. The list will include all phrase lists and entities that can be applied as features.

Giving my example here, I have intent - buyaticket and entity - city and I want to set city as a feature for intent - buyaticket. I have created those two items and add the entity as feature of intent.
