Hide Canvas Designer as Discussion Board Author

Is there a way to prevent a Canvas Designer from being listed as the author when creating or duplicating a discussion board?

Until recently, I was able to duplicate existing discussions without being attributed as the author, regardless of who created the original board. Now, when I duplicate a discussion, Canvas assigns me as the author and automatically subscribes me to updates. Since I'm a Designer and not visible to students in the course, this attribution is confusing.

I’ve found that creating discussions in a development shell and importing them into the course avoids the author attribution, but that adds extra steps to the workflow. Ideally, there would be a faster way to remove or hide Designer attribution on duplicated content like this.

Has anyone found another workaround or setting that helps with this? Or is this something Canvas might consider addressing in a future update?
