Git settings do not save commit instructions or pull request instructions

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 22, 2026 by coygeek Closed Apr 23, 2026

What version of the Codex App are you using (From \"About Codex\" dialog)?

26.417.41555 (1858)

What subscription do you have?

Not provided

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64

What issue are you seeing?

In Codex App Settings -> Git, the Commit instructions and Pull request instructions fields do not persist any value after saving.

I can type arbitrary text into either box, click Save, and the text immediately disappears from the UI. The result is that the instructions appear not to be saved at all.

I reproduced this on 2 different Macs.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open the Codex App.
  2. Go to Settings -> Git.
  3. Enter any text into Commit instructions.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Observe that the entered text disappears instead of remaining saved.
  6. Repeat the same flow with Pull request instructions.

What is the expected behavior?

Both fields should persist the saved value and continue showing it after clicking Save and after revisiting the Git settings screen.

Additional information

  • Reproduced on 2 separate Macs.
  • Screenshot available showing the affected settings screen.
  • The failure appears to affect both settings independently, suggesting the values may not be getting written or reloaded correctly.
