Restore Name / Timestamp Copy/Paste FEATURE in MS Teams
The ability for copy / paste to carry the sender's name and the timestamp of the comms in MS Teams was removed a while ago. Its seriously a ridiculous thing to fully remove. There are many many industries and many many use cases where having the name and timestamp EASILY copy / paste-able is NEEDED. Your devs should update with an option in settings to include Name and Timestamp on copy/paste actions in Teams. Going through multiple windows / options screens each time I want to pass along critical information is tiresome and annoying. Ad-hoc snip-it SS are as well. How narrow-sighted this change was is seriously concerning coming out of a multi-billion dollar company.

While I have found it extremely helpful that the name of the message sender and the time stamp is included in a copy and paste function it is more of a minor annoyance that it is no longer part of the copied data. What i find a major problem is that there is seemingly no way to determine the time stamp of a particular message. I have an example in front of me now. I have an associate that is reporting an issue to me that is time sensitive. I need to know how many minutes transpired between two messages. It is a huge oversight to remove this functionality without providing a way for a power user, developer, or even an admin to obtain this data.
