Description
Ideally, we reassess and reconsider the ability to forward messages from private channels or DMs to other channels or DMs. This is a larger effort. So, in the interim, we can update the warning at the top of the Forward modal as follows:
Private channel:
Messages in Private Channels can’t be forwarded to other channels. Selecting Forward will post the message in the current channel {Channel name}.
DM:
Direct Messages can’t be forwarded to other channels. Selecting Forward will post the message in the current Direct Message with {DM name}.
GM:
Group Messages can’t be forwarded to other channels. Selecting Forward will post the message in the current Group Message with {Group Message name}.
