Save User's name and description in character card and chat history

Description

User's name and description in Parameters -> Chat -> User is one for all characters and resets after TGWUI restart. It would be great to have an ability to save them in character cards and chat histories, so it would be easier to RP using different user's characters on different characters (save in AI char card), or even using different user's characters on the same character (save in individual chat history).

It can be implemented in UI with 2 checkboxes: one in Parameters -> Chat -> User screen: "Save for character" and another one in the Chat window: "Save for chat" together with 2 input boxes for name and description. If "Save for chat" is checked, then the user's name and description are read from it's textboxes (their data is saved in chat history .json). If "Save for character" is checked, then they're read from the char's card. If non of them checked, it will operate like it does now.

I support that the user should be specified per character and not globally. For example it could be included in the persona block, and then it could be saved by name in chat.
And if I'm impersonating multiple characters in a chat, I use as 'You'.

personally i'd like to see users become their own cards similar to characters. they dont need as much detail, but being able to have multiple characters i can 'play' would be nice too. a name and a description?

A multi-character solution would not be bad. That is, that model could play with multiple characters, as I do. On the character sheets, you could mark which characters belong to the AI and which belong to me. I could choose which character I reply on behalf of before posting, and the AI would decide for itself. Of course, there should be a limit to the maximum number of posts the AI can make with any character and in total. So it would be a multi-character "conference" discussion.
I will post this idea separately, in case someone will implement it.

That's even better way to implement it than the one I suggested. I would also request an ability to save the last user card used with each character.

Why is this not a feature?

This has been implemented in PR #7367, which adds a dropdown to save/load user personas. You can now save and load different user profiles easily.
