Description
Description:
Steps to reproduce:
- Import Slack archive: users and channels
- Fix MongoDB so imported messages show up in channels (otherwise channels look empty) as currently Slack import does not work properly at all. Multiple options:
- manually run commands in mongosh: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/37058#issuecomment-3342623466
- wait for #37805 to be update with this fix (or a better one): https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/37805#issuecomment-3743637660
- Get the database migraton from https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/38090 running after the import to fix MongoDb database (same commands ran as in manual mongosh step.
- Go to a channel with messages that have reactions. All reactions have the name
nameand thus the emoticons do not show up.
Expected behavior:
I expect that reactions show up with their emoticons.
Actual behavior:
All reactions have the name name and thus the emoticons do not show up.
