### Check Existing Issues
- [x] I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
- [x] I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
- [x] 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!).
- [x] I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
### Installation Method
Docker
### Open WebUI Version
v0.9.2
### Ollama Version (if applicable)
_No response_
### Operating System
Arch Linux x86_64 (Linux 7.0.1-1-cachyos-eevdf)
### Browser (if applicable)
Firefox 150.0 (64-bit)
### Confirmation
- [x] I have read and followed all instructions in `README.md`.
- [x] I am using the latest version of **both** Open WebUI and Ollama.
- [x] I have included the browser console logs.
- [x] I have included the Docker container logs.
- [x] I have **provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.**
- [x] 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).
- [x] 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
System prompt should be shown (and applied for completions) after page reload
### Actual Behavior
System prompt is empty after reload
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a new chat
2. Enter a system prompt
3. Send a chat message
4. Reload your page
The same behavior is consistent across multiple devices (PC, Android) and Browsers (Firefox, Chromium).
