Desktop app: "Auto-approve requests" setting toggle cannot be turned on and does not persist #41069
Closed as duplicate
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the bug
On the OpenCode desktop app (Windows 11, v1.18.15), the "Auto-approve requests" (auto-approve permissions) toggle in Settings cannot be turned on: clicking it does nothing / it stays off or greyed out.
Additionally, the toggle's state does not persist to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc (no permission-related change is written), so there is no way to enable auto-approval from the desktop UI.
Manually adding "permission": { "*": "allow" } to the global config file also still results in permission prompts for some actions (e.g. external directory access / doom-loop detection are ask by default and the UI has no way to change them).
Expected behavior
- The Settings toggle should turn on/off and persist (either to
opencode.jsoncor app-local settings). - Turning it on should behave like
--automode (auto-approve requests that are not explicitly denied).
Environment
- OS: Windows 11
- App: OpenCode Desktop v1.18.15

Confirmed duplicate of #37617 / #33788 — same symptom on Desktop 1.18.15 (Windows 11): the Settings → General "Auto-accept permissions" toggle stays disabled (
not-allowed), never persists a value.Also confirmed the workaround from #37617 works: pressing Ctrl+Shift+A (Mod+Shift+A) inside an active chat toggles auto-accept for the current session — the runtime feature works fine, only the Settings UI entry is broken.
Please track this under #37617 / #33767. Closing this one is fine; keeping it open just for visibility on 1.18.15.
