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.62 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.

Get a notification for reactions

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"
}
}
]
}

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.

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.

Option to disable threads
I am new to mattermost but this thread thing sucks.
I want to reply to a message in the same chat. 99.99999% of the time the response thread only contains a single reply and its not worth the hassle.
So please add an option to disable threads, or at least an easy way to reply in same chat that does not include manually copying the text and adding >

Provide feedback that a photo/video is uploading/processing
Currently, when a photo or video is being shared the send button will grey out, but the user isn't presented with any "progress" as to the upload, this can be a little confusing.
On the web version and uploading progress bar appears, it would be nice to make a similar feature for the mobile app1 vote -
Check / uncheck checklist items from message
It would be nice if messages that comprise checklist items could be clicked to check / uncheck items. For now, the author can edit their message to change
- [ ] iteminto- [x] itemfor instance, but that's cumbersome. Moreover, it would be nice if other members could be given permission to tick / untick items of a message sent by someone else.3 votes -
Send 4k video
I would like to submit a request to implement support for sending video files in 4K resolution. I’m sharing a GitLab link where the issue is described.

Use the system AUTH log facility for failed logins
It would be great if Mattermost could use the system AUTH log facility for failed logins.
It can (obviously) still do its usual logging as configured, etc. but I think failed login attempts should always be done to the system log facility as well.
It makes integrations with things like fail2ban far less complicated.
My two cents.

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:

Display Full User Names in Mobile App (Avoid Truncating with Ellipsis)
Hi Team,
I’ve noticed that on the Mattermost mobile app (iOS), user names are often truncated and displayed as “Kim…” instead of showing the full name, even though the full name appears correctly on the web version. This makes it difficult to identify users, especially in organizations where many people have similar names.
Please enhance the mobile app UI so that full user names are always visible, or at least provide an option to expand or view the full name easily. Ideally, the display should be consistent with the web version, either by wrapping the text, allowing horizontal scrolling, or…

Show emoji in Thread view as you do in Channel view
SUPER EASY FEATURE / FIX
In the Threads list, show the emoji that are on the first message of the thread just like you get in Channel view.We use threads as key topics of discussion, many are related to things that need to get done. When complete, we mark the first message in the thread with green check. We also use it to report bugs by marking the first message in a thread with the bug emoji. We have several emoji use cases for different purposes across different departments.
For some reason, the emoji is missing in the Threads…

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…
