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 using Open WebUI to explore a knowledge base I find the Follow up questions very useful but am frustrated they disappear as soon as you select one of them. I end up having to copy them to a separate document so I can manually iterate across multiple questions.

Desired Solution you'd like

Store generated Follow up questions with the answer as an expandable field (similar to how Sources works). Even if you have to manually copy and paste historical values below, it would still be useful to see what was generated for each response.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

No response

⚠️ Invalid Issue Title

Hey @jkassie, please provide a descriptive title for your issue. Titles that are empty, very short (under 10 characters), or generic (like "issue:" or "feat:") make it difficult for volunteer contributors to understand and triage issues.

Please update the title to reflect the content of your issue.


⚠️ Missing Issue Title Prefix

@jkassie, your issue title is missing a prefix (e.g., bug:, feat:, docs:).

Please update your issue title to include one of the following prefixes:

  • bug: Bug report or error you've encountered
  • feat: Feature request or enhancement suggestion
  • docs: Documentation issue or improvement request
  • question: Question about usage or functionality
  • help: Request for help or support

Example: bug: Login fails when using special characters in password

I'm almost certain you'd be happy to know that these toggles exist in the Interface settings tab within the user settings menu. Particularly, both Keep Follow-Up Prompts in Chat and Insert Follow-Up Prompt to Input options are what you want toggled On to have the behavior you desire within your Open WebUI instance for follow-up prompts.

Also, shameless self-plug for my very recently created Regenerate Followups action button. You will likely want this added to your Open WebUI instance. Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think!
