CSV file format to included a column "is_forwarded"

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to add a column in the output csv file which will reflect on whether a message is forwarded from somewhere within Telegram.

For example, if a messages is forwarded into the chat from somewhere on Telegram, that message will be tagged 1 in that column and if the message is not forwarded but an original message from the user it will be tagged 0.

I've tried adding a few lines to the existing script but I'm not sure the exact attribute that represents "is_forwarded" to use.

Hi, @zhuoriley, and thank you for the message.

I think that would be a great addition. Right now I'm stuck with my job, but I will try to find some time in the upcoming weekend to take a look. I will keep this thread updated with what I found.

Hi there 😊

I found a way to include a column "forwarded_name" which is essentially the variable "forwarded_from" in the json file. I thought it might be more useful to have the name of the owner of the message besides 0 and 1. We can definitely build on that to have the is_forwarded column if needed.

Thanks! telegram-chat-parser2.txt
