Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the below issue? I searched on the forums but could not find anything, so adding this to see if it’s just me or due to the updated playground UI.
- Title: Intermittent Loss of Edited Instructions in Assistants API Playground
- Severity/Priority:
- Severity: Medium (loss of data but temporary and recoverable through user’s workaround).
- Priority: High (affects productivity and user experience).
- Description: When editing the instruction set for an assistant in the Assistants API playground, changes made to the instructions are intermittently lost upon returning to the edit window. This issue forces the user to frequently copy and manually verify changes to prevent data loss. This bug occurs especially when handling large instruction sets (approximately 8,092 characters). The user currently employs a workaround by copying the instruction text before re-opening the edit instructions window to ensure changes are not lost.
- Affected Environments:
- Assistants API playground - March/April 2024
- Browser and OS specifics: Chrome/Brave/Mac OS
- Steps to Reproduce:
- Open the Assistants API playground.
- Select an assistant and go to “Edit Instructions.”
- Make changes to a large instruction set.
- Save the changes and exit the edit window.
- Re-open the edit instructions window to verify changes.
- Observe that the changes are intermittently lost, requiring the user to paste previously copied instructions and repeat the process.
- Expected Result: After editing and saving changes to the instructions, the modifications should persist and be visible upon re-opening the edit window.
- Actual Result: Changes to the instructions are intermittently lost, not visible upon re-opening the edit window, requiring repetitive verification and pasting steps.
