### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

There used to be a “Use Multiple Models” option as well as a “Cycle Agent Count” option. However since updating cursor recently those options have disappeared, but only for some of my projects, other projects they still show.  
My colleagues also have the exact same experience.  
Im assuming there is some setting somewhere, but i cant find it and its not documented.

### Steps to Reproduce

The one project the buttons no longer show on is a workspace. However i dont see why that would make a difference.

### Expected Behavior

“Use Multiple Models” and “Cycle Agent Count” to be accessible.

### Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Hey, thanks for the report. The “Use Multiple Models” feature requires your workspace to be opened at the root of a git repository (where the `.git` folder is located).

Since you mentioned this is happening with a workspace but not other projects, this is likely the cause. VS Code workspaces (especially multi-root workspaces) do not support this.

Could you please share:

- Your workspace structure - is the `.git` folder at the root of your workspace?
- Are you using a multi-root workspace (`.code-workspace` file)?
- A screenshot of your file explorer showing the folder structure

Let me know what you find!

```auto
# folder structure
repo/.git
repo/repo.code-workspace
repo/app/A,B,C,etc

```

I will open cursor using the repo.code-workspace workspace.

This seems to disable the expected features.

We have 1 multi-root space which actually is the root of the repo. If i cmd+I from their i still dont get the features, but im not sure if chat windows are aware of which root space i open them with. There isnt a huge amount of documentation on how cursor interacts with workspaces.

> Your workspace structure - is the `.git` folder at the root of your workspace?

Yes

> Are you using a multi-root workspace (.code-workspace file)?

Yes

> A screenshot of your file explorer showing the folder structure

This would just be a screenshot of all of the roots defined without the repo.code-workspace

Thanks for confirming the workspace structure! This is expected behavior - as I mentioned, multi-root workspaces currently don’t support the “Use Multiple Models” feature.

Workaround: Instead of opening via `repo.code-workspace`, try opening Cursor directly at the repository root folder (where the .git is located). This should restore access to these features.

We’re tracking the request to support these features in multi-root workspaces here: [Enable Multi-Agents Support for Multi-root Workspaces](https://forum.cursor.com/t/enable-multi-agents-support-for-multi-root-workspaces/139703)

Feel free to add your voice to that thread if this limitation significantly affects your workflow.
