It would be great if the search for the field position was possible.
i can't find any persons in channel or in personal messages by Position.
For example i have 3 "web-developer" users, and 2 "c# developers", i can find then by FirstName, LastName, nickname but field "Position" is out of search.
It would be great if the search for the field position was possible.

data retention/purge in open source edition
I occasionally check in, to see, if mattermost is usable, now.
Instead, you made it worse.
You deleted the original thread from years ago:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/36989788-make-data-retention-and-prune-reset-clear-availablThis is still wide open:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457/suggestions/15357861It would be nice to propose switching to mattermost, but as it stands, it is still unusable.
There's clearly a need:

I voted for the first time (couldn't bother signing up so far). But reading this post, this is at least from 2016. Seems you do not care for new users.

Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use
Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use. Reusable invite links (especially ones that aren't auto-regenerated at any point) leaves too much opportunity for unauthorized signups

Allow adding custom words to user and/or team dictionaries.
Words not in the stock dictionaries are always marked as errors; there's no way around it.

add newlines with CTRL+ENTER (like in Slack and Skype)
this is the opposite of the current setting:
ENTER inserts a new line and CTRL+ENTER submits the message.8 votes -
Display all unsent draft messages in one place
Every once in a while, I stumble upon an old draft I started typing, never finished or sent, in various locations (public / private channels, direct messages, threads...). It's nice that the icon next to the location is sometimes showing clearly that I have a draft there, but with many channels/DMs/threads I still risk losing a draft.

Simple image editor - draw line to highligt part of image
A simple image editor for uploaded images. This to draw lines, write text and add arrows. Would be great when explaining things. As in a quick bug report.

Allow response from outgoing webhooks
In slack an outgoing webhook can reply with:
Hi, I have a (working) slack webhook that responds with like:{ "text": "Thanks! Build was queued" }
These responses are ignored by mattermost currently. It would be great if they worked too.

Sync between redundant servers
In 2015, GitHub user titanous proposed adding support for more than one instance of the API server. (https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/402) It was suggested that it would be added before the 1.0 release, but the issue has since been closed without any changes. Since I didn't see this feature requested in this forum, I thought I would post it so that the community can vote on it.
I work with a team of five, all of whom have personal servers, one of which hosts our Mattermost instance. It would be useful for us if we could host as many as five…7 votes -
Extract GIF from Giphy links
When posting a link to a Giphy page (e.g. http://giphy.com/gifs/power-rangers-morphin-OOZLyBA9Euq2I), it would be nice if Mattermost could automatically display the GIF below the post.
(It works if you post the direct link to the .gif file but most users won't do that.)7 votes -
Hotlink preview for uploaded image instead of thumbnail
When uploading images it will be nice to have a preview features (like when entering an image through a link) instead of the current generated thumbnail which is not very representative of the image. This is somehow how Slack is showing uploaded image.

Include private channels to search based on current user membership
Make Mattermost API channels search method
( /teams/{team_id}/channels/search )
to include private channels where the current user is a member.E.g. if the user A is a member of channel B and user A performs channel search, it will get channel B in a response from server if B matches the term.
In Mattermost 5.5.0 search returns only public channels in results. The only way to find channel by display name is to get all channels current user is a member of and iterate over them on client side.

Auto converted date time
In cases of a international team managing time zone is often difficult. It would be great if Mattermost supported some kind of timezone conversion. A user can choose his timezone in settings and when posting dates or times in a chat, a special syntax, probably something along the lines of (12:00 PM) would be required. The clients will auto convert the time to local users timezone while displaying. This could be an opt-in feature.

Push-to-Talk
While "texting", I would like to be able to transmit an ad hoc sound bite, so that I can quickly verbalize something without having to start a call session - not store-and-forward, but immediate live voice, Star Trek comm badge style.
I'm glad I ran into you guys in Punta Cana!

API: Add new_msg_count to /users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channels/members
Currently you need to make two calls to get the total count of unread messages or to get the count of unread messages from a single channel (
/users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channelsand/users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channels/members).To avoid the first request, it would be nice to have a new property e.g.
new_msg_countthat returns the current new message count for a channel. This is currently only possible by substracting themsg_count(second request) from thetotal_msg_count(first request).This topic has already been discussed on github: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/8591#issuecomment-383909505

Better wording for account deactivation
When a user want to delete his account, he can think "deactivation" is enough but doesn't necessarily know that it just means that he cannot log anymore…
Maybe (in advanced settings):
"By deactivating your account you will no longer be able to log in but the messages will be kept. To permanently delete your account and your messages, please contact your administrator."
And a similar (or the same) message in email notification.

User name pronounce upload on profile.
according to various national users join to Mattermost instance.
sometimes not sure how to pronounce their name,
(especially, when people use their real name)what if each users available to upload their name pronounce on profile when they create an account.
and people on the same channel with that person can play it? (only when they click pronounce button)
I think it would be convenient for who have Mattermost instance like me.
thank you.7 votes -

Toggle the visibility of bot/webhook messages
I'd like a way to quickly hide/show bot and webhook messages in a channel. It would be easier to have conversations when the channel is regularly "spammed" by bot messages. Could be a simple button in the channel header
