What happened

The slack.NewRichTextChannelElement functions returns a RichTextElement with "type": "text" instead of "type": "channel". Causing the block to be invalid since the value for "text" is missing and not displaying channels correctly.

Workaround

Use the struct value

slack.RichTextSectionChannelElement{
	Type:      slack.RTSEChannel,
	ChannelID: "channel-id",
}

Expected behavior

The function should create a RichTextChannel element with type channel

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the slack.NewRichTextChannelElement function in blocks code.
2. Attempt to send via PostMessage

reproducible code

slack.NewRichTextChannelElement("channel_id", nil)
