Hello,

When we reply to a comment in a topic, the reply appears twice. Both in a thread created under the question and also in the topic.

Is it possible to delete by default the creation of the thread or other so as not to have a duplicate?

Thanks

hi @Wil34 - i think these setting are what you seek, specifically the first one.
