I created a custom knowledge base and added it to the assistant, but now every time I do anything in the dashboard, it overrides it. Is there any way to fix this or a better solution here?

To prevent the dashboard from overriding your custom knowledge base, manage your assistant configuration exclusively via the API. Here’s a sample cURL command to update your assistant with the custom knowledge base:

bash
curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_VAPI_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
    "model": {
      "model": "gpt-4o",
      "provider": "openai",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "system", "content": "Your existing system prompt..." }
      ],
      "knowledgeBaseId": "YOUR_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID"
    }
  }'

Avoid making changes in the dashboard after this, as it will overwrite your API configuration ([documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/knowledge-base/custom-knowledge-base)). Source: - [Custom Knowledge Base documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/knowledge-base/custom-knowledge-base)

It looks like the dashboard updates came out and now this is resolved

Once you have used the API to configure your assistant with custom settings, you will need to continue using the API
