Your use case
What would you like to do?
I want to have some UI that allows me to add captions to image or video files I'm about to send.
Now that #2521 is implemented it is possible to send both a plain text and formatted caption. It would be nice to be able to send at least the plain text version, if not both.
Why would you like to do it?
It's weird we can display captions but not send them. It's also present in most other IM apps.
How would you like to achieve it?
By implementing some new design that adds a text field to the attachment preview screen displayed before a media attachment is sent.
Have you considered any alternatives?
We could just leave it as is.
