Deleting a File Context (OCR) from Cloned agent removes the document is from parent agent as well

[michnovka]

What happened?

If you have an agent with File Context (OCR) and you clone it, then if in the clone settings you remove an attachment, it is removed from parent too.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create new agent and add an attachment as File Context (OCR). (mine is just a PDF saying I like yellow color). Confirm it works:

2. Clone the agent

3. delete the attachment from the cloned agent:

4. check the original agent and confirm it also has no longer access to the file

Notice that now the original agent has a document uploaded in UI, but it lacks name. As you see from above chat tho, you can confirm that it no longer has access to the file

When the agent is cloned/duplicated, for File Context (OCR), it copies the same file reference. When you "remove" the document, you are actually deleting it, so they both lose the file reference as it no longer exists.

For the other file upload options for Agents, when an agent is cloned/duplicated, the file references do not copy over, so we will likely match that with OCR uploads to avoid this confusion.

If some other behavior is desired, that is a separate discussion.

Thanks for the explanation.

I would like to open that discussion, as this is not at all the behavior I expect. Especially if I make adjustments to the agent after a long time, possibly when the name is totally changed etc.

I would like that files are copied over when cloning an agent and creating a new reference, I would say this is more intuitive and what most people would expect.

Co-related issue

I assume this is correlated, but the same thing happens with avatar. So when I clone an agent, and I replace an icon in the new one (which I assume is a common flow when you keep your agents with avatars), it deletes the avatar for the old one and gives a broken image in UI then.

Alternative

At the very least a warning that a file that I am about to delete is also bound to another agent. But it does not solve the avatar issue. Perhaps at least copy those?
