Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I often find myself starting new chats within Open WebUI, but wanting to preserve the system prompt and advanced parameters from the chat's modified Chat Controls without cloning the entire chat. This feature would eliminate the redundancy of manually setting these parameters again for each new chat.

Describe the solution you'd like

A toggle in the Chat Controls sidebar that allows me to keep the system prompt and advanced parameters set in the Chat Controls sidebar for new chats. If adjustments are made to these parameters in a new chat with the toggle still checked, the changes should dynamically update even in another new chat. In other words, a "sticky" Chat Controls through a checkbox in the top-right corner of the modal next to the close button, which would allow users to apply the current chat settings to new chats.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I considered using the "Clone Chat" feature, but that clones the entire chat, which might not always be desired. This feature would provide a more selective way to preserve specific parameters from the advanced parameters of Chat Controls.

Additional context

This feature would complement the "cClone Chat" feature well, allowing for more flexibility in managing chat settings. A toggle in the Chat Controls sidebar would make it easy to enable or disable this feature as needed.

@silentoplayz wouldn't this be user-level params?

@tjbck I've edited the issue for clarity, but yes. It sounds like it could be a user-level parameter.
