Assistants doesn't save new Instructions

When I edit the instructions in the api, it doesn’t save the new instructions.

The “saving” spinner spins but after it’s done, the timestamp for the save indicates the old time.

And if I make an api call, it’s still using the old prompt.

I usually have to sit and keep retrying again and again until it actually saves. Deeply frustrating - to the point which I’ve now created an account and a post here.

Please assist.

I’m also getting the same error often

Did you manage to find a solution to this problem?

Hi @gars ! There is a similar thread here: Can't save new prompt updates on API

When you put text in the system instructions text box, you have to focus out of the text box (e.g. by clicking somewhere outside the area), and then a POST request will be sent to assistant endpoint and the prompt will be saved.
