Changelog Entry

Description

Added an option to prevent attachment of individual files from knowledges (only full knowledges are attachable, see screenshot below).

Added

New environment variable ENABLE_INDIVIDUAL_KNOWLEDGE_FILE_ATTACHMENTS which controls whether attachment of single files from knowledges on the chat interface is allowed or not. If disabled, only full knowledges are allowed to be attached. Defaults to true (enabled).

Additional Information

Motivation for this PR: slowness on cases with large knowledges (for example as mentioned in #17998). The cause for this slowness is loading all the knowledge in the background, files even if they are not attached or referenced by the knowledge.
