I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.30

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Arch Linux

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox

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

Moving projects around nest or raise the level and correctly set the parent_id, while ensuring the parent_id's can't be one of the children of a project.

Actual Behavior

Depending on the scenario, you are able to make a project when moving it to have another as its parent; however, in that situation, the other one also has the initial one as its parent, creating a loop and preventing them from being shown in the UI.

Steps to Reproduce

Create project A
Create project B
With some trying through dragging and dropping projects around, you can get project A to be a child of B, and B to be a child of A
