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!

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.

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"
}
}
]
}
]

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…

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

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 >

AVIF image format support
AVIF (which is also a still image of av1 video compressor) is one of the most modern image formats (in addition to JPEG XL).
Majority of web browsers already support it and modern news websites are using it on regular basis. Sites such as Facebook / Instagram support it (and btw.. render avif uploads much faster than jpg)
If you want to compress / archive your image collection AVIF and JPEG XL are best formats to do that as they are open source. Problems start when you want to share an image from your collection to a Mattermost site.

Custom Tag or Option that shows 1st line (title) but collapses the rest of long post under "Show More"
Currently Mattermost limits the length of posts to 16383 characters (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17368972-eliminate-4000-character-per-message-message-leng).
Most likely the limit is caused by the length of the TEXT field in supported MySQL, which is 65536 bytes. A UNICODE character can take up to 4 bytes, hence the safe limit:
65536 bytes / 4 = 16383,75 characters.Using rich Markdown formatting, abundance of hyperlinks, one can reach the limit of 16383 characters in a research post.
To make it easier to scroll through the list, Mattermost collapses (hides) parts of long posts under "Show more" button/link, after showing first few lines.
Too make it…

The ability to favorite emoji and access them quickly.
The recently used emoji section is nice, but it's very frustrating when they disappear or reset every few months for whatever reason. Can we add a section for favorite emoji? It would even be more beneficial where the "recent emoji" section is. Maybe there's a way to integrate both in a way that are easily accessible?
In my position we work very fast, so it's integral to be able to react to certain posts in an efficient matter when you need to. This feature would be an amazing addition.

Dialogue sees input in real time
Live Input Visibility During Conversation
I want to develop an AI bot that can converse with users and help them complete tasks. During the conversation, I want to see the bot's real-time output, corresponding to the streaming output of the LLM. Currently, I have to wait for the LLM output to completely finish before sending a message to the user. This requires waiting.3 votes -
Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels
Feature Request:
Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels to better organize conversations and topics within a team and break large channels into focused topics.Proposed Implementation: Follow the same pattern used by Posts with RootId. Add a ParentChannelId field to the Channel model that references the parent channel, enabling a single-level parent-child hierarchy. This mirrors how thread replies work - posts use RootId to reference their parent post, and we can apply the same approach to channels.

Title: Bring Reaction Menu closer to the message text on wide screens
Description:
Currently, the hover reaction menu is always pinned to the far right edge of the message container. On ultra-wide monitors or when using the "Full width" display setting, this creates a huge physical distance between the short message text (on the left) and the reaction buttons (on the far right).
This is exhausting for the user's eyes and requires excessive mouse movement for every single reaction.
Suggested Solution:
…Allow the reaction menu to float near the end of the message text if the message is short. Or,3 votes -
Introduce Video Calls
It would be great to include video calls to the normal calls, like in Teams, which also rings like a phone call when calling someone or video calling someone.

Custom slash commands that get passed as message
We should have the option to set custom slash commands as a passable message. If an AI agent bot is doing bad things, they need to be stopped. Typing /stop does nothing until I find the tiny link at the bottom and approve it to be sent. If you do not allow disabling of the interception, there needs to be a way to add those as custom slash commands that are sent as pain text. Requiring firewall opening, open access to the internet to an AI agent is just a bad option.

User defined default for schedule send time.
Every day I schedule send messages for the same time. Once I schedule one it remembers my preference. But then it forgets it for the next day and I have to "choose custom time". Allow the user to define their suggested schedule send times.

Add Emoji from Unicode 14.0 onwards
The emoji picker seems to be missing all emoji added since Unicode 14. For example:
Unicode 14 added 🫡 Saluting Face and 🫠 Melting Face.
Unicode 15 added 🫨 Shaking Face and 🩷 Pink Heart.
Unicode 16 added Face with Bags Under Eyes and Root Vegetable.
Unicode 16 added Distorted Face and Fight Cloud.
None of these show up in the emoji picker.
