- On 2026-04-12, a creator reported that Roblox Assistant chat progress was lost after accidentally closing a place file in Roblox Studio.
- The requested fix is clear: keep chat context after reopen, or let creators reopen past chats from history.
- As of 2026-04-12, this is a community feedback/bug report on the Roblox Developer Forum, not a confirmed shipped patch yet.
- New community report (2026-04-12): Losing a place file session can wipe Assistant conversation context.
- Requested behavior: Session memory should survive close/reopen and crash/reopen flows.
- Requested feature add: A visible chat history restore button so creators can continue old threads.
- Current status (2026-04-12): 1 post, 1 participant, and no linked release note confirming a fix yet.

Developer Context
Roblox Corporation describes Roblox Assistant as a helper for ongoing development in Roblox Studio. If chat memory resets after an accidental close, that "ongoing" flow breaks.
That is why this feedback asks for persistence plus chat history restore: less repeated typing, less lost setup, and faster iteration for creators.
Why You Should Care
- If you script, you keep your long prompt context and can continue faster.
- If you build, you do not have to re-explain map style, asset choices, and tool steps.
- If you are learning, you stay focused instead of redoing setup over and over.
- Right now, until a fix lands, save key prompts in a note file and copy big context blocks before risky closes.
- Q: Is this issue officially fixed yet?
A: As of 2026-04-12, the cited DevForum topic does not include an official fix note. - Q: What exactly gets lost?
A: The report says Roblox Assistant conversation context was lost after accidentally closing the place file. - Q: Does this matter only for pro devs?
A: Nope. It hits beginners too, because retyping context is hard when you are still learning. - Q: What can I do today to avoid pain?
A: Keep a mini "project context" note with map goal, script names, and current bugs, then paste it fast if chat resets. - Q: Where can I follow or support this feedback?
A: In the Roblox Developer Forum thread linked below.
