Add quote reply in addition to collapsed threads
Currently, in order to reply to someone a few messages back, you hit the reply button and it goes into a thread. Alternatively, Mattermost could add a quote button on messages next to the reply button. When you click quote button it should work like reply in modern messengers with text of the message or part of it and name of the creator of the message.
Threads are useful, but creating them for replying to paticular messages can be a bit of an overkill.61 votesLabel and status updated.

Ability to “Also send to channel” inside a thread
As we are starting to use threads more, it would be nice to keep the channel updated when important updates are made in threads.
Slack solves this problem by adding a checkbox that says “Also send to channel” inside a thread. Would love to see a similar approach.

React to reactions
Reaction emojis are great for quickly expressing a sentiment in response to a message. It would be beneficial to have the ability to add a reaction emoji to those reactions.
For example, when someone reacts with “Thank you” I need to then type a new message to say “You’re welcome”, and if someone overlooks the small “thank you” emoji then my message can be easily misinterpreted as sarcastically implying the person wasn’t grateful!
Instead, it would be much better if I could add a “You’re welcome!” reaction to their “Thank you!” reaction.

Message attachment action button open URL
Currently, message actions button is doing a HTTP call to get a JSON response. What about adding the possibility to define button that open an URL in a new tab ?
Using https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/plugins/interactive-messages/ , we want to display a button that simply open a link:
{
"attachments": [
{
"pretext": "This is the attachment pretext.",
"text": "This is the attachment text.",
"actions": [{
"id": "open-link",
"name": "Open Dashboard",
"integration": {
"link": "http://grafana.my-dev.com"
}
}
]
}
]

Customizable time in scheduled messages
When creating a scheduled message in the time field you can only select minutes 00 or 30, and this is actually a problem, users want to create messages for example in 45 minutes or 15 minutes.

Add functionality to automatically add new users to a team
A lot of new users are unfamiliar with / confused by teams. So they don't select one, and then can't post anything, and an admin has to manually add them. There should be an easy way for all new users to be automatically added to a team.

Threads: Proposal for additional usability and readability Option
Dear Team,
thanks for the awesome Mattermost App!I love threads, and i would like to suggest an additional usability and readability option:
Background (or "what drives me mad"):
Everybody knows the flow of conversations, they have the tendency to get unstructurized and important threads of messages get "buried" below new incoming messages in the parent channel.
Also People sometimes dont answer in threads, either they dont want to use threads, or they accidently answer in the parent channel.
This makes things more than often confusing to follow..My Proposal to implement just some options:
How it works Now:

Facing Issues with NSF File Conversion Tools
Hello everyone,
I’ve recently been trying to convert some NSF files (from Lotus Notes) into a more accessible format like PST or PDF for use in my current audio-visual editing workflow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I tried either crash during conversion or don’t maintain the original file structure. This has created delays in my project timelines. Can anyone suggest a reliable and secure NSF file converter that retains folder hierarchy and metadata during the conversion process? Also, if someone could share their experience with using any specific tool, that would be a great help.
Thanks in advance for your…

Display Nickname or Full Name Based on Settings
I configured nicknamefullname: true, but the username is still displayed while drafting a chat. This is not user-friendly.
The same problem also occurs when full_name: true is configured.https://docs.mattermost.com/configure/site-configuration-settings.html#teammate-name-display
I'm Japanese, and Japanese characters cannot be used in usernames. Therefore, displaying only the username is very troublesome for my organization.

Add "to:" search modifier, ability to confine a search to specific direct messages
Ability to search messages using a "to:" search modifier. It's great to be able to search for messages "from:" a certain user, but it would be great to have "to:" as well.
This would be helpful, for example, to help prevent me from asking team members repetitive questions. I know that a certain team member is the subject matter expert for a given topic. I know I've probably asked this team member a given question before at some point. If I could search "to:username given_topic" that seems the most logical way to find the last time I asked him this…

Search parameter for message priority
We got a few user requests if it's possible to search specifically for prioritized messages with the possibility to define the type of priority (important, urgent). This would be very helpful sometimes.

Feature Request: Mass unfollow threads
Mattermost gets laggy when there you are following many threads. To the point that opening the "threads" tab fail to load with timeout errors. See github issues below:
https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/23690#issuecomment-2611855763This is true to people that have been using mattermost for a while now, we have been using it for 6 years and using collapsible threads since they are in beta.
Being able to mass unfollow all past threads will fix this.
I have tried disabling threads in the whole organization and re-enabling it but it didn't remove the follows.
If there's any backend/sql command i could run that would be…

allow the Late Time Warning to be disabled or modified
Not everyone works a regular schedule. Constantly being "warned" about messaging someone during their regular work hours could get really annoying. The ability to disable this, or to alter the time(s) that would incur a "warning" should be a relatively low LoE.

Bulk actions for drafts (i.e., delete)
I guess I'm an indecisive typer, but I regularly find myself having to empty out my entire list of drafts (from thread replies, in particular) on the desktop app. And since these are scoped to each 'team' I've joined, I have to do it N times.
A way to 'select all' (+ maybe unselect those drafts I want to keep) and delete them would be great! Thank you beforehand!

I would like to request the following enhancements for incoming webhooks
I would like to request the following enhancements for incoming webhooks in Mattermost:
The ability to reply to a message sent via an incoming webhook using another incoming webhook message.
The ability to pin a message sent via an incoming webhook to the channel and unpin previously pinned messages.
These features would improve automation and message management within channels.1 vote -
User groups on Free plan
I am currently in the process of migrating some of the community groups i participate in on Discord to Mattermost (a couple of game communities and a big friends group, about 60 people) in order to self host them.
The only big feature mattermost (free) is missing compared to Discord is user groups and advanced ACL. I’m open to subscribe to a paid plan to support Mattermost development, but 10$/user/month is just way too much for this use-case.
Would you consider adding the user groups feature (and maybe a subset of advanced ACL) to the Free plan (maybe in a…
