question

Hello! Hopefully someone can help me with this because I've been stumped for a week.

I am creating a simple Alexa skill from one of the samples. It's the color picker skill - you tell Alexa your favorite color, and then you ask her your favorite color. I'm using Custom Slots, and the Skill Service doesn't want to return a value for the color. It launches successfully, and then loads the correct intent, however it doesn't send the correct value. Instead, there's not even a value parameter in the output, just name and confirmation status.

Here's my skill's JSON, followed by the request JSON output after I tell the skill: "My color is red." I want the skill to pass "red" into the value parameter.
