Bug Report

Installation Method

Installed via official docker repo ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Environment

Open WebUI Version: 0.4.4
Operating System: Ubuntu 2204 (Server), Windows 10 (Client)
Browser (if applicable): Chrome 131

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on 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 the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

When setting a valve via user valves or system valves, the value of that particular item is set in the class "Valves" oder "UserValves".
E.g. if I set Source Language to "English" I expect that self.UserValves.sourceLanguage returns "English"

Actual Behavior:

self.UserValves.sourceLanguage and self.Vavlves.sourceLanguage always return the default value, no matter what is set in the user valves or the system valves (valves in "Functions" of admin panel).

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new filter/function

You may use the default template for the conversation turns or the attached modified one, that outputs the Valve values.

Set the UserValues for the filter function "Conversation turns" to 1 (you may also try to set the valves in "Functions" menu as Admin, same result)
Observe how you can still do as many turns as defined in the defaults

Logs and Screenshots

Screenshots/Screen Recordings (if applicable):

Additional Information

The UI says that valves are saved, whenever I change them, but this is not reflected in the filter output

Modified conversation turns code for quicker testing:

@clang88 commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2024):

P.S.: It seems to work fine for "Tools".
Snapshot from system valves:

Snapshot from returned "Tools" call

Correction: It only works for the system valves, not for the user valves:
