Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4239

What would you like to see?

We create workspaces via the AnythingLLM API and would like to be able to provide custom metadata about those workspaces such that we can then fetch workspaces based on that metadata.

As an example, we may create temporary workspaces in our app but we also have permanent workspaces. Without using some sort of naming convention on the workspaces, we have no way to programmatically remove the temporary workspaces but leave the permanent ones.

We'd love a way to add something like the following to the payload on workspace create:

{
    "customMetadata" : {
         "isTemporary": true,
         "someOtherKey" : "Some value",
         etc.
    }
}

where "customMetadata" can contain arbitrary JSON.
We'd also like the workspaces GET endpoint to support searching/filtering based on values within the custom JSON.

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2025):

This seems too specific for a particular use case currently. Ill leave it open to see if it gets more upvotes, but I dont forsee temporary workspaces like this being a use case we intend to adopt.

We have sessionID available for ephemeral chats that are non-persistent for any specific user or otherwise and that could be useful here. However you need to maintain these sessionID on your end since they are simply used for chat history partitioning
