Copy a Microsoft Teams channel chat to another Microsoft Teams channel conversation

Just edit any post you need to copy and include the target channel, then remove the original one.

I just ran into an unexpected problem with this approach.  The https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cross-post-a-channel-conversation-in-teams-9c1252a3-67ef-498e-a7c1-dd7147b3d295 states that when editing a cross-post message that "you can remove channels from the list" - but fails to say that it is not possible to remove it from the original channel in which the message was posted.

The screen-shot below shows that I can add new channels and remove the message from the "Internal IT" private channel and/or the non-private "Test channel", but I cannot remove it from the "General" channel.

This limitation seems to make it impossible to actually move a message from one place to another.

Any ideas?
