When merging branch, comments are not "copied"

When I merge a branch which has some comments, those comments are not copied/merged/… to main file.

Is it expected behaviour or “thing in progress”?
I would love to have those comments transfered. So i don’t forget anything 🙂

    If I remember correctly, they answered this during their Office Hours (at least in the chat) and currently comments are note merged.

    Don’t know if it will change in the future 🤷

    Thanks. Didn’t know that.
    Anyway I am loosing comments during merging. So I hope in including comments in merge.

    1. 3 years later. This is still case with branches. Comments are not merged into the main branch.

    It would be great to know if it’s expected behaviour?

      Same ​@Kelvin_Lin. Would be useful to at least have an option to carry over comments when merging.

        Any updates on this? I don’t agree with the statement - trying to justify the absence of this feature. It’s a given that anything in a branch should stay when merged unless discarded due to a conflict.

          2026 - comments still ignored during branch merge. Would appreciate an update on if this has or ever will be up for consideration. Everyone I work with, from UX designers to UX writers to POs to developers, would love to to see their comments move along with the merge. Without this, it’s a huge hassle to use comments.
