Bug Report


Installation Method

Docker image deployed to kubernetes statefulset.

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: v0.5.16

  • Ollama (if applicable): [e.g., v0.2.0, v0.1.32-rc1]

  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox 135.0.1

Confirmation:

  • [X ] I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • [ X] I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • [ X] I have included the browser console logs.
  • [ X] I have included the Docker container logs.
  • [ X] I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

I expected chat title renaming and tagging to work as it has in the past.

Actual Behavior:

It appears that with one of the recent upgrades it stopped working, no tags are added automatically and the chat title stays "New Chat"

Description

Bug Summary:
It appears the storage of the settings related to auto renaming of chats and auto tagging may have recently changed.
I confirmed that in the Settings -> Interface menu that both "Title Auto-Generation" and "Chat Tags Auto-Generation" were set to on yet neither was happening. But then I changed both of those options to Off, pressed Save, then turned them on again and pressed Save, and now both features are working again. So my best guess is that the format of the config settings might have changed recently.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Start with a working installed version where both chat titles and tags are being generated.
Perform version upgrades to both Ollama and Open-WebUI
Notice that automatic chat titles and tags stopped working for new chats.
Confirm in the settings that both of those features appear to be on, turn them off, save, turn them on again, save.
Notice that they appear to be working again.

Additional Information

It would be awesome if for existing chats to have a button to automatically rename the chat and/or generate tags for and existing chat that didn't get them.
