Calibre not adding "Comments" to metadata
I've been spending a lot of time updating my books' metadata. I noticed something peculiar - once every so often I download metadata, select the best option, and then for some reason everything except the comments field is updated.

Why would that be?

@AMF - I'm not sure about this, but if you don't have the Comments column checked for a source, and it happened to be the one you regarded as 'best', then maybe it wouldn't update it. eg
