I’ve got two channels that I have removed all members from (in anticipation of moving them), I’ve also re-activated members that were deactivated and removed them as well. However every time I try to process the move I get the error:
MoveChannel: Unable to move a channel unless all its members are already members of the destination team.
How can I troubleshoot this further?
Hello, @agd
I was wondering if you can share the CLI command you ran on your instance to see if we missed out on anything. Will that be okay for you?
Additionally, may I know if you can utilize the following parameter while running the mattermost channel move command on your instance and verify if you are still running into the same issue?
--remove-deactivated-users Automatically remove any deactivated users from the channel before moving it.
That is the critical thing, Where did you find this documented? I can’t seem to locate it in the current documentation.
Hello, @agd
While this was not included in the official documentation explicitly, you will be able to see it when you run the command below:
ahmaddanial@mattermost:/opt/mattermost/bin$ ./mattermost channel move --help

May I know if the issue is sorted out on your end?
