Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.4

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 10

Browser (if applicable)

Edge v135.0.3179.73

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

Expected Behavior

When the title auto generation is turned off, the chat title should be the first prompt.

Actual Behavior

When the title auto generation is turned off, the chat title not changed.

Steps to Reproduce

I have briefly read the code, and it is probably designed in the same way. But now, when the title auto generation is turned off, the chat title has not changed.

In the commit aca37f592d

I hit a breakpoint and found that at line 1634 of Chat.svelte, the settings?.title is equal tonull, so the background_tasks.title_generation will always be true. So in line 959 of middleware.py, the tasks[TASKS.TITLE_GENERATION] will always be true. But when title auto generation is turned off, the if res and isinstance(res, dict) will not pass, the JSONResponse is not a dict, so there is no place to update the chat title.
