Re: [Qgis-user] Field comments

[Carlos Cerdán]

Thank you very much to everybody. So, I was trying to use "comments" in the
wrong way. And yes, ALIAS works fine. Of course, don't forget to save the
layer style.

Hi Carlos,

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

Cheers

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

Hi Carlos,

of course, use the column "Alias" in the “fields” tab to specify a permanent 
comment.

Sorry. More information: I've tried it in QGIS 2.18.x under Ubuntu and Windows. 
I've also tried QGIS 2.99 in Windows 10. Nothing.

Hi list:

Does anyone know how to make comments permanent in the fields of the attribute 
table? (see image on https://www.dropbox.com/s/uef2gs0g3qmp1g0/Fields.png?dl=0 )

When I open the properties of the layer and go to the "fields" tab, I can't 
make the comments recorded. I tried to put the layer in edit mode and enter 
comments with quotes, but nothing.

Maybe I'm using this feature the wrong way. Any suggestions?
