[Qgis-user] Field comments

[Stefan Blumentrath]

Hi Carlos,

See: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/91
for the metadata overhaul, in case that is of interest...

Cheers
Stefan

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
