Any updates?

A partial solution, as which individual problems are selected in the problems tree is not exposed in the extension api, is Problems:Copy. You can copy them all - filtered by severity - or copy by active editor.

You can now select multiple problems and copy them

You can also select the file/resource and copy all problems in that file

You can also copy all problem using the context menu in the empty area

I don't really understand why "Copy Message" does not work.

If you mean why Copy Message is not supported for multi select - because this command just copies the message and I think it does not make sense just to copy multiple messages without other information like file, source, etc.,

@sandy081 but then shouldn't the command be disabled when I select multiple? And why not allow to copy multiple messages, maybe I need all messages to show a colleague?

Besides, what is the use case for being able to copy the error message as JSON?

Copy command copies the selected error completely as a JSON object and it was there from beginning. Now Copy on multi select just copies all of them as an array. I think use case is quite obvious as of Copy command. I would like to copy all problems and report them in an issue.

I checked at other places (like in explorer) and we are not disabling the command which can execute on selected active resource. I followed the same for consistency instead of disabling.

And why not allow to copy multiple messages, maybe I need all messages to show a colleague?

Yeah may be.
