claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Custom chat names should not be auto-overwritten [1 comments, 1 participants]

TL;DR

Check the chat renaming logic to ensure it respects user-provided custom names and only applies auto-generated titles to unnamed chats.

Guidance

• Review the code responsible for generating model-generated titles to identify where the overwrite is happening and ensure it checks for existing custom names before applying changes.
• Verify that the custom name is being stored and retrieved correctly, and that it's not being inadvertently cleared or overwritten during the title generation process.
• Consider adding a conditional check to only apply auto-generated titles if the chat does not already have a custom name set by the user.
• Investigate the possibility of adding an "undo" feature to allow users to revert to their custom name if it's overwritten.

Example

if chat.custom_name:
    # Do not overwrite custom name with auto-generated title
    pass
else:
    # Apply auto-generated title
    chat.title = generate_title()

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the underlying technology stack and codebase. It's essential to carefully review the relevant code sections to ensure the fix is applied correctly.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the chat renaming logic to respect custom names, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This approach ensures that user-provided names are preserved and only auto-generated titles are applied when necessary.
