how does 'return' work from conditionals? about botml HOT 5 CLOSED

as in the above example,
if the match is in one of the conditions
it will not 'return'

---
  > red
  < roses are red

but if the reply is caught as the default/bottom entry of the logic block, then the code will return and continue, it seems.

---
> *{color}
< you like $color

from botml.

perhaps things would be better if there was a more explicit @ return or some type of keyword like that?

You'll find the reasoning behind conditional, and some examples, in this post:

The only way I can think of right now, for addressing your example, would go like this:

~ start
< start
  [intro]
~ [colors]
~ [ending]

~ colors
< Whats your favorite color?
> *{color}
< you like $color
\`\`\`
if ($color === 'blue') {
  context.say('sky is blue')
}
\`\`\`

= intro
- Let's begin

~ ending
< Thanks and goodnight.

> reset
~ [start]

Hi!
Sorry for the very late response.
According documentation Conditional branching please look on the last example and "jump_to" feature you could jump from a condition to the end of current dialogue.

Example:

~ start
< start
  [intro]
~ [colors]
~ [ending]

~ colors
< Whats your favorite color?
> *{color}
---
  ` /red/.test('$color')
  < roses are red
  ~ [end]
---
  ` /blue/.test('$color')
  < sky is blue
  ~ [end]
---
< you like $color
~ end

= intro
- Let's begin

~ ending
< Thanks and goodnight.

> reset
~ [start]

Hope it helps you.
