This is the expected behavior at the moment. It may change in future.
The “View as Message” selection is not persistent. When Topics is enabled and View as Message is enabled , after you navigate out of the particular channel … and come back , View gets automatically reverted to ‘View as Topic’ by default.
Steps to reproduce
Enable and configure Topics in any Channel.
Click 3 dots in the circle at top right corner (…)
Select ‘View as Message’.
4. View changes to Messages (old default system)
Navigate out of the particular channel … and come back ,
View in channel gets automatically reverted back to ‘View as Topic’ by default!
Problem : The “View as Message” selection is not persistent - some people who are part of the channel prefer permanent message view even after Topics is enabled.
