OpenAI Playground -> Chat: Functions seem to be only saved if the preset is also saved

Hey,

I find it not that intuitive that after clicking “Save” in the function editing window you also have to update your preset, otherwise your function changes are lost. Even when changing the preset it says “Are you sure you want to switch to a different preset? This will discard any unsaved changes.”. But it also discards saved changes, so this behavior might be a bug?

Might be just me. Thoughts?

Welcome to the community!

The playground is… …well it’s not exactly a robust workbench for anything in particular, unfortunately.

I would suggest you to consider moving away from it. It’s often out of date and sometimes doesn’t work right. It’s still good for spot checks and for getting started from scratch (e.g. getting the image call right)

Jupyter is a pretty decent and straight forward alternative imo.

Thanks! And thanks for the suggestion. So far I am quite happy with it for my purposes. But I will try to set up a work environment in Jupyter.
Maybe this post can raise awareness for a potential bug with the playground.
