How to add more than ten commands to command menu of teams bot, is there any solution?

Question

I want to list lot of commands as a suggestions to user from teams bot, I have tried to create a command menu, but it is not allowing me to add more than 10 commands, is there any solution for this.

Answer 1

Each menu supports up to ten commands. This is by design. We cannot add more than ten commands to menu.
You can create another menu for adding more commands.

Ref Doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/create-a-bot-commands-menu?tabs=desktop%2Cdotnet#create-a-command-menu-for-your-bot-by-editing-manifestjson

@HariprasadA-4546 - We have tested like below. Giving same scope in commandlist and commands

"commandLists": [
    {
      "scopes": [
        "personal"
      ],
      "commands": [
        {
          "title": "Help",
          "description": "Displays this help message"
        },
        {
          "title": "Search Flights",
          "description": "Search flights from Seattle to Phoenix May 2-5 departing after 3pm"
        },
        {
          "title": "Search Hotels",
          "description": "Search hotels in Portland tonight"
        },
        {
          "title": "Best Time to Fly",
          "description": "Best time to fly to London for a 5 day trip this summer"
        },
        {
          "title": "Help",
          "description": "Displays this help message"
        },
        {
          "title": "Search Flights",
          "description": "Search flights from Seattle to Phoenix May 2-5 departing after 3pm"
        }
       ]
    },
    {
      "scopes": [
        "personal"
      ],
      "commands": [
        {
          "title": "1Help",
          "description": "Displays this help message"
        },
        {
          "title": "1Search Flights",
          "description": "Search flights from Seattle to Phoenix May 2-5 departing after 3pm"
        },
        {
          "title": "1Search Hotels",
          "description": "Search hotels in Portland tonight"
        }

      ]
    }
  ],

@Nivedipa-MSFT , can you share the manifest file or any source with all the twenty commands, so I can refer that.

Answer 5

@Nivedipa-MSFT I am attaching my manifest file here, I am getting the same error even After I followed your manifest file format, can we have a screen sharing session, that would be really helpful.
