BR:

It does exactly what I wanted with a new datatype plus what the poster of this thread requested.

If the comments are plain text, they will only wrap in the book details if they are really long. If they are short, like a Tag is, they would not wrap in the book details. They are not long text. They are whatever is entered by the user. Never html. The name of the datatype comments shown in preferences no longer says long text, but general text. Not long. Not short. Up to the user. Html or plain. Up to the user. With labels or without. Up to the user.

The editor is always a single line for plain text. Bulk or single. See the images.

Html uses the legacy html editor widget. Single only. Not bulk.

Multiline only exists for html. If you want long multiline html text with no labels and a multiline editor, do not use plain text. If you want short plain text with labels, easy. Its editor is single line only, but that single line can be as long as the user wishes.

I think you misunderstand what it is and what it does. People will be confused by your comments because they are wrong.
