# SubSlotValueElicitationSetting
<a name="API_SubSlotValueElicitationSetting"></a>

Subslot elicitation settings.

 `DefaultValueSpecification` is a list of default values for a constituent sub slot in a composite slot. Default values are used when Amazon Lex hasn't determined a value for a slot. You can specify default values from context variables, session attributes, and defined values. This is similar to `DefaultValueSpecification` for slots.

 `PromptSpecification` is the prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the sub slot value from the user. This is similar to `PromptSpecification` for slots.
