To alleviate this I had formatted all my comment fields such that they showed a column heading in Cailbre's Book Details just like the other fields.

So my question is: could the column heading name for comment fields (long text not shown in tag browser) always be made to show? Wherever they may turn up?

Currently it depends on where you look if the heading is shown or not.
I ran into the same 'problem" and applied a similar solution - paste a heading into top of the comment - I have them as permanent items in my paste buffer.

However, the Column names I use are 'meaningless' single characters like 'M' and 'T' because they are represented on the spreadsheet by an icon with no text. My thinking has been to have a property on the column definition where I could put the 'html code' that I want 'pasted' at the top of the text.

Also I have several thousand books with comments I've manually branded with the desired headings, so I would appreciate that any changes in this regard retained the status quo for a while at least.

I've not ran up against the OPDS server problem because I don't use one.
