Do not disturb hours
Mattermost has a manual Do Not Disturb feature, which is nice. However, it would be extra nice to have "Do Not Disturb hours" for each account, so individuals can set certain hours when Do Not Disturb is automatically enabled for their account. It would be extra nice if these were automatically set on account creation to common bedtime hours in the local time zone; for instance 10pm to 7am. This is a nice work/life balance feature that encourages people to get enough sleep by default. :-)

one file installation on hosted servers
The installation should be only depending on a ftp-access to a hosted server storing data in flat files. Second best would be mysql connection.

Create the option to show the entire message in notifications.
It would be great if I can enable the option to show the entire message in notifications. Currently only the beginning of the message is passed to notification system.

Enable MFA reset through the system console
It would be nice if there were a way to reset someone's MFA configuration from the System Console instead of having to use the command line tool. For large teams, MFA devices are lost fairly frequently so it's burdensome to have to use the command line tool each time.

Enable pasting images into text bar for the iOS app.
Right now you cannot paste images into the text bar with the iOS app. This makes it difficult to share images by copying and pasting rather than saving and inserting. If I have an image in my clipboard, I would like to be able to long press in the text entry bar to trigger the paste button. This would then add the image to the text where I could review and either send or remove it.

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.

Parse channel search string to allow more powerful queries
I use the channel switcher with Ctrl+K a lot. Recently I joined two groups that have some overlapping members:
Group X has members aa, bb, me. Group Y has members aa, cc, me.
Now, it is quite tedious to search for them efficiently. If I search for "bb" and "cc" I will hit direct messaging with either of the two. And if I search for "aa" it is even worse: I get the two groups, plus direct messaging.
I suggest to allow for a search expressions as follows: "a b", "a c". I expect this to find group channels where there is a member whose name contains the latter "a" and a member whose name contains the letter "b" (or "c" respectively).
As far as I see, your current logic for matching channels is just plain substring inclusion. My suggestion would change this to first splitting by whitespace and then checking for inclusion of all tokens.
Also take some inspiration from fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#search-syntax with an implementation at https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/src/pattern.go

Check which channels are being actively used by the company (Latest comment date)
My company has multiples teams and more than 20 channels in each of them. I am a new employee, and I have to join each channel to check if they are being used looking for the latest comment date.
Is there a feature to order channels by the latest comment date or to filter the channel list to have only the ones that are being used?

Desktop app: Help menu should be accessible by keyboard under Windows
On the Windows client, the "Help" menu is not accessible by keyboard. This is because both the "History" and the "Help" menu have the same accelerator letter "H" assigned, so Alt+H opens the "History" menu (presumably because it comes first). Furthermore, the menu bar doesn't follow the normal Windows UI convention that you can toggle keyboard focus from/to the menu bar by presing just the Alt key, and that you can navigate between menus using the left/right arrow keys when keyboard focus is on the menu or menu bar, thereby preventing the other way the "Help" menu could be accessed using the keyboard.

include message metadata in webhook/slash http requests to help tell bot messages apart from human messages
It is currently not possible for a webhook/slash command webservice (a bot) to tell whether a message came from another bot (or this bot) or from a human.
See also the GitHub discussion: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/9719#issuecomment-438320149
Summary:
Even though it is usually possible to set the displayed username to an arbitrary value when programmatically creating a post, this username is ignored when the created message is sent out via a webhook, leaving a lot of opportunity for loops.
There are 4 ways new messages (posts) can be created:
- Human types them
- Incoming Webhook
- Outgoing Webhook bot response.
- API (Post)All of these are slightly inconsistent in terms of what metadata can be set. For instance, only the POST API allows setting of "props" (a map of properties). It would be trivial for a bot to set "{bot: true}", but, alas, this property bundle is not included in any outgoing requests later made by Mattermost.
A related suggestion would also benefit from this change: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/19376305-allow-webhooks-to-trigger-other-webhooks-posts (because enabling this would make loops very likely)

Add "edited by admin" when admin edit someone's message
Team admin can edit users messages (when option is available) but it can be usefull to specify when it's not the user himself that edit, but an admin.
Proposal: add "(edited by admin)" instead of "(edited")

Different sound notifications for DMs/mentions and normal channel chatter
Currently when someone sends you a direct message, mentions you, or sends a message to into non-muted channel that you are a member of, the desktop app plays the same sound. I think it would be a really nice/useful feature to give users the option to play different sounds to distinguish between DM/mentions and normal channel chatter.

CMD/CTRL+K should allow to switch to conversation from other team
When you are part of two or more team and you have unread channel in another team you've currently selected, you can not switch to it with CMD/CTRL+K. Since there is no keyboard shortcut to switch team (already discussed in various place), this would be nice to display the conversation from the other team in the conversation selection popup!

Allow Incoming Webhooks to use response_type
From: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10463
Please allow incoming webhooks to use response_type. I'm looking at making a bot that would allow others to roleplay. This bot functions by watching the channel, and when it sees a message with a trigger that has been set up with it, uses a incoming webhook to post a message with a custom picture and username before deleting the triggering message.
This gives the effect of someone being able to play different characters, especially when paired with: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/37237117-allow-webhooks-to-post-to-reply-threads3 votes -
Default email domain for LDAP users
There should be a option for default email domain for LDAP users.
Use case: large organizations often have multiple object trees, and some might not contain the users email address explicitly. In some cases you might have a default email domain for all users (example.com) in addition to their unit-specific (unit.example.com) domains.
For more dynamic settings like a Django settings.py you might to able to specify that the email address of an users is their uid + the default email domain of your organization, but when that's not the case you instead relay on the settings being provided to you, as would be the case of Mattermost.
