Is it possible to move comments only from one page to another ?

We started using a plugin called 'Discussions' which organises comments under a page (called a discussion) and give us some nice metrics.

The problem is that we already had one page elsewhere in the space (not a Discussion) with relevant comments underneath.

If I move that page to the Discussions tree, its database doesn't know it's a discussion (as it was not created using the Discussions Blueprint) and it does not pop up in the discussion dashboard

If I start another Discussion and move the comments by copy and paste, I will lose who the comment came from unless we ask everyone to do that individually. 

So I either find a solution to move 'comments only' from one page to another, or find a way to edit Discussion's database

You can use the API to transfer the comments from one page to the other.  You could either write a script to handle it or you could use postman and do it one by one.  Look at get comments from a page and add comments to a page here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/
