Changelog Entry

Added a tag attribute for from object for typing indicator.

Description

• BotFramework-webchat-adapter sends from object as part of typing indicator activity which is mapped to typing object in Botframeork-webchat. Added a new tag in adapter as well as webchat to pass tag to receiver side to indicate sender is typing in public/Internal panel. (We have a single adapter for two react webchat's one is public other is internal to distinguish between the two we need tag params)

Direct Line activity schema does not contain from.tag field, https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-sdk/blob/master/specs/botframework-activity/botframework-activity.md#from. So, we can't retrieve tag value from the from property.

We can consider retrieving/saving channelData to the structure returned by useActiveTyping.

Please fill in the PR form. You can look for other PRs to get an idea of details we want to have. This is critical for us. If a future regression happens (it do!), the details in the PR form will help us to understand how this feature should work and why we added it in first place.

So, we can't retrieve tag value from the from property. -> From object comes from botframework-webchat-adapter as per my understanding and then we map in webchat. We have a PR to update tag for from object in adapter side as well. I have tested this and it's working fine. Can updated the read me file: https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-webchat-chat-adapter/pull/49
