Regardless of size and number I am always receiving this error when saving a GPT which contains a valid JSON file. In the browser console: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 () ---

I found a workaround to this issue, hopefully it continues to work! Basically, I noticed an undo option when I hover over the ‘unpublished changes’… I copied my instructions and clicked undo, I then added back my updated instructions and was able to publish. ---

with good intentions, @logankilpatrick I continue having this error it’s closed here [Error saving draft when building a new GPT - GPT builders / Plugins / Actions builders - OpenAI Developer Forum](https://community.openai.com/t/error-saving-draft-when-building-a-new-gpt/483284/177), this is my error screen sadly ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/4X/b/0/3/b03843392ab074a552b615dd779d75faa41165be.png) Now I will proceed with feedback to make work easier and solve this asap: I can edit some, but when I edit 4, or 5, it shows me this error, the thing is that there is an auto save which sometimes is a bit annoying cause it’s making on time changes, would be great to have a small delay, or adjust this on dev mode. Good luck, and by the way, amazing work! We all love OpenAI platform!

I also encountered this issue and solve it using following steps: 1. Turn off or remove all the extensions in chrome or use other browser instead 2. Check the uploaded file in GPTs is valid or not (my previous upload says “Unable to extract text from …”, so I split the file, then the alert disappears) 3. Save and done hope this helps ---

can you explain what you meant by ‘splitting your file’? ---

Seems the problem has still not been solved after so many months 🤯 In my GPT I get “Error saving draft” when updating any single piece of configuration. ---

Same issue here with trying to update a CustomGPT. Sometimes it works after waiting an hour or so. Maybe their servers are extra busy? I’m also wondering why the GPT App for MacOS takes you to the browser version when creating or editing a CustomGPT. ---

I could only solve it by duplicating MyGPT. I tried everything, that’s the only thing that worked. ---

Was a LaTeX document for me. Some reason it’s not even bothering to read it properly. Converting to Fortan style encoding may be a workaround. Gonna give it a shot if I can be arsed to back-translate all the elegance. Preview o1 sucks balls. It crashes every time.
