Summary

Add /dialog checkbox-group and /dialog checkbox-matrix slash commands that open Interactive Dialogs exercising the checkbox_group and checkbox_matrix element types

The checkbox-matrix dialog covers both row_selection modes: permissions (multiple, 3 rows × 7 columns — enough to force horizontal scroll with row labels pinned) and environment_owner (single, 3 × 3).

Adds a /dialog/checkboxes HTTP handler that echoes the submission back as readable message text, since the existing handleDialog1 path stores values in post Props which aren't visible on screen. formatCheckboxValue renders the wire encoding canonically — (none) for empty, comma-joined for groups, row:col1,col2 entries semicolon-joined for matrices, with rows and columns sorted so expectations don't depend on tap order.

Adds tests asserting both dialogs pass Dialog.IsValid() (matching the real /dialogs/open validation), that the field names and properties the specs key off stay stable, and table-driven coverage of formatCheckboxValue.

Ticket Link

Fixes https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-69318

Test plan

  • /dialog checkbox-group opens the dialog; submit is blocked until a service is checked; regions shows US and APAC pre-checked; the two Notify fields render labels on opposite sides; priority offers "Clear selection".
  • /dialog checkbox-matrix opens the dialog; permissions scrolls horizontally with row labels pinned and allows multiple columns per row; environment_owner allows only one column per row.
  • Submitting either dialog posts a "Checkboxes Submitted:" message listing each field's canonical value.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds checkbox-group and checkbox-matrix dialogs. The change includes command wiring, dialog definitions, submission processing, deterministic value formatting, validation tests, and Go toolchain and dependency updates.

Changes

Checkbox dialogs

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkbox dialog definitions and contracts
server/dialog_samples.go, server/dialog_checkboxes_test.go
Adds group and matrix dialog definitions with fields, defaults, selection modes, and validation tests.
Dialog command wiring
server/command_hooks.go
Adds help, autocomplete, and command handling for both checkbox dialog types.
Checkbox submission and formatting
server/http_hooks.go
Adds the /dialog/checkboxes endpoint, cancellation and error handling, result posting, and deterministic group and matrix formatting.

Go toolchain and dependency updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Go module version updates
go.mod
Updates the Go toolchain requirement and selected indirect dependency versions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 0f0af

The new checkbox submission endpoint can accept unauthenticated requests and use the supplied channel ID to create bot messages, which could allow unauthorized posts. The PR is not merge-ready until callback authorization and request binding are added.
