It looks like when it's an answer, it has the is_answer flag set to true:

And nothing when it's a comment:

      big but it's documented elsewhere ;)

       

      qanda.is_answer (optional) boolean   If this post is a reply to a Q&A topic message, set this parameter to true to specify that this post is an answer. Note that this parameter can only be used when creating a message.

        thanks! so you are actually referring to api v1 here. I know about this property as well and we are using it when we reply to a question to make it an answer and not a comment. However the issue in my case is not when we post but when we retrieve the information. And i simply do not get that property (qanda.is_answer) in the response when i query the api for that message as you can see in my example response in the initial thread i created.

        Strange that i dont get that property. How does a example request u make look like?

        Thanks for your help
