Post comment via API without adding anchors/mention to card body
Victor Hallberg
I've developed a Github webhook to Favro comment poster which automatically comments on Favro cards referenced in various github events (commits/prs/branches/etc.).
This works great, with the caveat that Favro will not only display a comment but also append an "attachment"/mention of the comment being posted via API to the card description. This attachment is entirely redundant and rather annoying, since it doesn't provide any additional information to the comment itself.
It would therefore be great if it was possible for the Favro API to either:
- Stop creating these attachments
- Add an option to the comment API that prevents the creation of them
Thanks in advance!

There is an additional consistency issue related to this behavior. If the automatically generated comment-thread anchor is deleted from the card body, the API-created comment remains available inside the card, but the comment icon and count disappear from the Kanban card. The board therefore shows the card as having no comments even though the comment still exists. Manually created comments display their count correctly. The Kanban indicator appears to depend on the generated anchor rather than on the actual comments stored on the card. https://favro.canny.io/bugs/p/kanban-comment-indicator-disappears-after-deleting-an-api-generated-comment-thre
