Would flags on an answer be removed if you convert the answer to a comment?

Question

Let's say a user asks for Gyrados inspirations and another user answers something like "Magikarp is a red fish." (Just an example not to be taken seriously.) Then, that answer gets down-votes and gets a few flags. Then, that person converts the answer to a comment. What would happen to the flags? Would they still be on when the answer is converted? Would the flags clear? What would happen?

Answer this question with something random, I'll flag it and convert it, then you'll get your answer.

Why did somebody else flag my comment? lol

Answer 1

Check Kyogre's comment. I flagged it, then converted it to a comment. The flag stayed.

Hope I helped!
