Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.9.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Debian 12

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

The update_automation tool should successfully update the prompt/settings of the existing automation in the database and return a success status.

Actual Behavior

The tool call fails and returns a Python AttributeError:
{"error": "'AutomationTable' object has no attribute 'update'"}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Open WebUI using Docker
  2. Use the chat interface to create a new automation using the create_automation tool (e.g., "Plan an automation for every day at 17:00 to practice Spanish").
  3. Once the automation is successfully created and you have the automation_id, ask the AI to edit that specific automation (e.g., "Edit the automation to alternate between English to Spanish and Spanish to English").
  4. The AI will trigger the update_automation tool call.
  5. Observe the output of the tool call.

Additional Information

Suggested fix by AI agent based on repo codebase:

The issue is located in backend/open_webui/models/automations.py. The update_automation tool is attempting to call a method named .update() on the AutomationTable class, but the method in that class is actually named update_by_id().
