Quick Summary

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. 💾
