Does Azure OpenAI Service have Custom Instructions?

Azure OpenAI Service partially supports Custom Instructions. Set persistent, global rules for how the AI should behave or respond across all chats (e.g., always output Python code, or never use emojis). Azure OpenAI Service hosts OpenAI models (and related APIs) inside Azure: identity, VNet, and compliance of the Azure cloud. System prompts are API parameters, not a ChatGPT-style global custom-instructions UI.
