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Has this facility been changed/withdrawn in an update?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?

    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.

    That should definitely be a preference. That's terrible.

    I understand the reason for the change. Do you think the development team would be able to add a feature where you can forward multiple messages to the other user? This would solve everyone's problem - data integrity plus also the ability to send larger chunks of data with the metadata embedded.

    Thanks!

    Whist these workrounds may be ok for us techies but what about the general users.

    Most of our users are not technically minded and cannot/wont go through these 'tricks' to get the text.
