Solvable base-change and descent conjecture

Let E/FE/F' be a solvable extension of number fields, and let Π\Pi be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GLn(AE)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_E) that is Gal(E/F)\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')-invariant. Let a character of E×\AE×E^{\times}\backslash\mathbb{A}_E^{\times} be viewed as a Hecke character, and let Gal(E/F)\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')^{\wedge} denote the character group. Solvable base-change and descent conjecture. There is a Gal(E/F)\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')-invariant character

χ(E×\AE×)\chi\in (E^{\times}\backslash\mathbb{A}_E^{\times})^{\wedge}

such that Πχ\Pi\otimes\chi descends to GLn(AF)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_{F'}). If H2(Gal(E/F),C×)=0H^2(\mathrm{Gal}(E/F'),\mathbb{C}^{\times})=0, χ\chi may be chosen trivial. Conversely, if π1\pi'_1 and π2\pi'_2 are cuspidal automorphic representations of GLn(AF)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_{F'}) that both base change to a cuspidal representation Π\Pi of GLn(AE)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_E), then there is a unique χGal(E/F)\chi\in\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')^{\wedge} such that π1π2χ\pi'_1\cong\pi'_2\otimes\chi. The statement is known in the special cases mentioned immediately before it in the source, but is open in general.
