<br>
Comments are not saved in the project, they are just retrieved from databases.<br>
<br>
E.g. Postgres:<br>
<br>
COMMENT ON COLUMN my_table.my_column IS 'Employee ID number';<br>
<br>
It's a usability issue with QGIS 2.18 that the column is editable in the layer properties, it should be read only.<br>
<br>
Sidenote: That's not something that couldn't be changed in a future version, maybe it could be also discussed with the metadata team if there's something ready for this already.<br>
<br>
