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Has this facility been changed/withdrawn in an update?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

    For people who have to log this information into other systems providing support - this is a brain dead fix - please provide a way to include the metadata without having to resort to "kludges" accessing an API which is also a pain to deal with. I can see why so many customers are losing interest in MS products. When these types of decisions are made without considering the impact to those who are quietly using the system. This is another example why I stopped recommending MS products to clients, customers , friends and family.

    This is not feasible! Just imagine doing this on a long discussion with a hundred or more responses.

    Thanks for the feedback JC, so close but still not working! Not or windows anyway.
    Very grateful for the possibility - far more than MS seems to offer for such a simple and useful feature.
