Currently we can write/append to assistant instructions at the assistant level, and at the run level but not the thread level. We cannot therefore write / amend instructions that are appropriate to persist for the lifetime of a thread - e.g. user preferences / additional instructions based on some application state. Instead we have to attach the addition instructions to every run on the thread. Request a feature enhancement to allow additional instructions at the tread level.

This is my pet peeve with the assistants, this and not being able to send system instructions to control subsequent runs.
It would be very useful for additional instructions in a level between the assistant’s and the run. Atm I am using the same solution, appending a growing instruction set to every run.
