Expected Behavior

I currently use Open WebUI across two machines and share custom models export via version control.

When importing models which replace existing models the Base Model field does not update.

Actual Behavior

Importing models JSON should update/replace existing models.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Export models
  2. Edit the JSON, change base_model_id to another model.
  3. Import the updated JSON

The models will still show their old value.

Logs & Screenshots

Intended behaviour, imports should not override existing models.
