This is due to Mattermost limitations in message response. Any table is uploaded as a snippet. This is the same with Slack, but small snippets in Slack are automatically rendered by Slack.

Thank you for your reply. That's unfortunate.

@smk4664 should we look at some alternate methods to support just straight text?

smk4664 commented 7 months ago

We already support other methods, such as send_markdown. But many of the built-in commands such as get-devices were built using send_large_table which uses snippets.
