Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.5.20

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

macos sequioa

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 checked the browser console logs.
  • I have checked the Docker container logs.
  • I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

If a pipe or source data is updated renaming a model that hasn't been customised by the user I would expect the new name to be applied.

Actual Behavior

Old names are persisted if the user has made any changes to model, most importantly if toggled the enable / disable switch.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install and configure a key for OpenRouter pipe
  2. View the models page in Admin Settings > Models.
  3. Toggle one of the OpenRouter models to disable it from showing.
  4. Edit the OpenRouter settings and change the Model Prefix
  5. Revisit the models page in Admin Settings > Models.
  6. Observe that the model which was disabled didn't change the prefix.

While OpenRouter provides an easy way to test as it includes the Model Prefix option, any pipe or data source which changed the name of a model would trigger this issue.

Logs & Screenshots

Here's a screenshot of where I changed the prefix a few times the last three models we never toggled the first was and has now had it's name persisted.

Additional Information

The cause for this is all details are persisted about a model if any change is made which includes toggling its status. The code responsible for this is here.

I would suggest that names should only be persisted if edited, allowing pipes to update them successfully.

The only workaround I've found so far is export the DB, delete the offending rows and then import the db using the details provided here.
