Hi

I know that it’s possible to create an API request that grants badges and includes the ‘topic reason’; however, given that ‘Grant Badge’ action in #workflows is already available, would it be possible to add the option to include the ‘reason’?

When granting badges, it’s possible to mention the reason. (See admin settings of a profile, click badges, and you will be able to select badge then add link to topic/post:

However, in the Discourse actions in workflows, it’s not possible to include the ‘reason’:

Adding this option will be very helpful and much easier to maintain than creating the API request.

Thanks!
