New R package MatterMostR and question about priority

Hi John,

thanks for your comment and for the compliment. Feel free to star the repo on Github.
Further I wanted to ask if the company is ok that I made the r package and that I in the future might upload it to cran repository (comparable with pypi for python)

I studied of course extensively the mattermost api documentation which was really helpful in programming the r package.

Regarding the priority and acknowledgment I see from the response body that I get back from the mattermost REST api that the parameters have been received correctly.

from my start post:

$props $props$priority $props$priority$priority [1] “High”

$props$priority$requested_ack [1] TRUE
__

(I used High but also urgent and a couple of other variations)

But even though accepted by the rest api it does never show in the ui. In the UI I can use the button to write an urgent label by hand.

So I guess that something is not being passed through from the api to the UI. So please let me know if my understanding is correct that even though I send the correct message and priority to the server there will never be a response in the UI. If this is the case it might be worthwhile to mention this in the mattermost api documentation for other developers.

See documentation screenshot below:

kind regards,

Laurens
