Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.When generating comments, devel_generate appears to ignore the content-type comment settings.
In particular, devel_generate seems always to generated threaded comments even when the node-type is set to flat comments.

thsutton CreditAttribution: thsutton commentedYeah, but then the comments will be displayed in threaded order (according to the comments in the database), but in non-threaded style (according to the settings for the node/type).
Comment #3
salvisThe content type comment setting is the Display Mode. Comments themselves are neither threaded nor flat. It all depends on the display mode.
Do you mean devel_generate should create only comments (in the narrow sense of the term, i.e. comments attached to the node) rather than comments and replies?
I'm not sure what devel_generate does, but website users are certainly free to create (root) comments as well as replies, no matter what the display mode is.

moshe weitzman CreditAttribution: moshe weitzman commentedI think the issue is that we add comments to node types that have comments disabled. the discussion of threaded vs. flat seems to be a red herring.
