Problem Description

Hello! I'm using Open WebUI with the OpenRouter API, which gives me access to a wide range of models. In the New Chat window, this isn't a problem—the model selection works smoothly. However, in the window for creating a new Workspace, selecting the Base Model is impossible: the list isn't in alphabetical order, the field doesn't allow typing the model name (only a single letter for filtering), and I'm not sure if all available models are listed. This is making a simple task very hard when I try to setup Workspaces.

Desired Solution you'd like

Simple: just use the same model selection menu as in the New Chat window.
