Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

When I'm using the prompt library for system prompts, I always need to create a prompt in the user prompt text area and then copy and paste it to the system prompt box in the chat properties. This works, however, it would be far more convenient if the system prompt field would support stored prompts to the same degree as the user prompt text area.

I'm using system prompts a lot and this workflow constitutes a considerable amount of friction, although it only costs me a couple of seconds per prompt. However, for power users, this can be something that's annoying over time.

Desired Solution you'd like

  • Press / in the system prompt field
  • Get the list of stored prompts to choose from
  • Initialize variables in the dialog as for the user prompt
  • Directly have a ready-to-use system prompt in the system prompt field

In the new v8 version we have versioning for prompts with flagging a productive version. This is very helpful to reuse for the models system prompt.
Also it adds the feature to only allow shared writing permissions on the system prompt but not on the other properties of the model.
