It's important to choose the appropriate reason from the drop-down menu as this may affect whether a query continues to be included in future analysis. {% ifversion comment-dismissed-code-scanning-alert %}Optionally, you can comment on a dismissal to record the context of an alert dismissal. The dismissal comment is added to the alert timeline and can be used as justification during auditing and reporting. You can retrieve or set a comment by using the code scanning REST API. The comment is contained in dismissed_comment for the alerts/{alert_number} endpoint. For more information, see "Code Scanning." {% endif %}
