Command responses don't get posted in the RHS

[hanzei]

Running a slash command in the RHS should post the response there.

See https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-github/issues/364 for a similar bug.

hey can you elaborate a little more on the issue?

[hanzei]

Sure. If a user runs e.g. /jitsi help in a tread in the Right Hand Site, the response will be posted in the center channel. This ticket is about changing the behaviour to also post in the RHS.

Apologies if i'm getting into too much details here... but can you tell me which of these parameters needs to be added in the request?

type Post struct {
    Id         string `json:"id"`

    MessageSource string `json:"message_source,omitempty" db:"-"`

    Type          string          `json:"type"`

No problem @tw-ayush. Feel free to ask any questions you need to work on this ticket.

RootId is the field that controls to which thread a post it tied to.
