[Qgis-user] Field comments

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Carlos,

Comments are not saved in the project, they are just retrieved from
databases.

E.g. Postgres:

COMMENT ON COLUMN my_table.my_column IS 'Employee ID number';

It's a usability issue with QGIS 2.18 that the column is editable in the
layer properties, it should be read only.

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.

Regards
Matthias
