For the moment, when this option "ExperimentalTownSquareIsReadOnly" is set to true, all the Town Square channels of all the teams become read-only.

It will great to set up this option not globally, but at the team level and not only on the "Town Square" channel but on any public channel.

A toggle option so that threads appear as "N comments" and open in the side-panel, so they do not interrupt the main flow of the channel, and you can follow each thread mode easily.

If a user misses replying to a thread in a channel and instead replies directly to the channel, this message is not part of the thread that it was intended to be and the conversation is not clear.

There should be a way for a user or channel admin to move a message to the intended thread inside the channel and keep it inline with the on-going threaded conversation (since everything is timestamped this seems possible).

This would clean up the conversations and mistakes that users will make.

Add to jira plugin features to notify about new comments, description changes, attachments changes in a ticket.

We need a MSI file for automated (silent) installation. That way you can deploy the application with the group policy of windows.

In addition to specifying custom data retention policy globally across all teams and channels (see https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10007076-ee-data-retention-and-prune-reset-clear-channel-c), allow

1) team and system admins set custom policies for individual teams
2) channel, team and system admins set custom policies for individual channels

• Jump to the result


• You have possibility to load more messages before the result but not after it

The second generation mobile apps currently are not designed to support tablets.

(See https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/issues/670)

If you would like to see tablet / iPad support, please help upvote this feature idea so we can track the demand for it.

It was nice in Slack to say for the batch of invitees that have been recently invited that they be thrown into channels x, y, z instead of having to manually Add Member to varying channels or ask them to seek out channels and add themselves.

Sample use case: Block .exe files from being uploaded to prevent malicious executables from being downloaded.

In addition to .exe, also interested in blocking PDF files and compressed files.

Add an option to allow changing of the default "Display" settings from the System Console. (E.g set Theme & Teammate Name default "Display" settings globally).

Add cusom user groups for mentions. Something like @developers or @frontend to mention all members of group in this channel. Also it would be useful for large teams, when novices does not know who is who - with this feature they can determinate at least group

This feature proposal is for the ability to encrypt posts/direct messages in the database, with a server-side encryption of the database contents.

Creating and participating in Polls would be great,
to be embedded within a message.
Like in Doodle, Facebook or Threema:

Option | User1 | User2 | ...

Coke | x | |
Sprite | x | x |
...

OR

Option | Votes

Coke | 3/15 Users
Sprite | 2/15 Users
...

On the sidebar, it would be useful if the most recent conversations were displayed on top. As for now I have to delete channels so I dont have to scroll all day long.

Add feature to make video/audio calls (personal/group)

For organizations with advanced compliance requirements, this feature should enable a System Administrator to omit the inclusion of message contents in email notifications.

I think it would be a great idea to add spoiler tags like message or message but for spoilers (i.e ^This is a spoil^)

There are several ways to implement this:

-By having an expand/close button for showing/hiding the message
-By having to select the text to see it
-By having to hover on the text with the cursor to see it (might be problematic for touch-based devices)

I suggest discussing on what is the best for mattermost.
