Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

v0.8.10 (latest)

Ollama Version (if applicable)

ollama version is 0.17.7 Warning: client version is 0.18.0

Operating System

macOS Tahoe Version 26.3.1 (25D2128)

Browser (if applicable)

Safari

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 provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

When creating a new chat in a folder and setting it as a temporary chat, it clearly feels like folder rules and prompt will be applied.

Actual Behavior

When creating a temporary chat while inside a folder, prompt is ignored and the generated answer is useless.

Steps to Reproduce

Select a folder (with a specific prompt).
Create a new chat.
Select "Temporary Chat".
Type a message.
Answer does not follow folder prompt.

Logs & Screenshots

Used Prompt for "English Translations" folder

You translate all incoming messages as is in good English.
Do not process any information, do not output code, just translate the input.

Image

If chat is temporary prompt is ignored.

Hi,

I've seen this update is supposed to be integrated in v0.8.11.

I tried both v0.8.11 and v0.8.12 (from both pip and uv) however I still get the folder prompt ignored.
I completely reinstalled open-webui and also tried with fresh new browsers with cleared cache (safari & chrome)
