Teams Chat - copy/paste

Anonymous

When in Chats in Teams we used to copy conversations and paste them into other docs. This brought across name/date and chat text.

Now when we do this it only brings across the text; name/date are missing. This causes issues for us as we cannot keep accurate records.

Has this facility been changed/withdrawn in an update? Is there a workaround?

    Please add a setting that allows us to choose whether or not to copy the meta data. There are a lot of times it's needed for documentation.

    >Will it take a legal precedent to get some action...

    Only if some legal firm is badly affected?? I don't think we can realistically expect any reaction from MS other than ignoring user pleas. If they ever look at the user comments, it's almost certainly bots that do that, and they likely have been trained to ignore complaints... :-)

    Come ON Microsoft, can you honestly keep ignoring this question WHEN Is this going to be resolved. Trying to capture time and date stamps on Information that is subject to FOI request, accurate records need to be captured, we are unable to do this..... Seriously when is this going to be resolved??

    Not just "take their performance rating down" but kick them out. That change was outrageous, but even more outrageous (though totally expected) is that there's been no reaction from MS. Monopolies are bad...

    I honestly tried living without the proper copy function but it's inexcusable and I really really want to find whoever just decided that it's a good idea to remove such a vital function and take their kpi down a notch or two for approving that malicious update.

    Please stop accepting answers like "I don't have strong feelings about this update" as approval and add the function as optional.
