I though that was what I said.
Maybe...
The comments is a standard field. And I do want to "jam" other unsupported fields into it. I currently use the Kobo Utilities plugin to do this, but directly updates the database on the device.
This post has a screenshot of this from a Kobo device. That has rating, page and word count and tags added at the start of the comments.
To do that, I have to send the book to the device, eject the device and let it process the books. Then, connect the device and update the comments using the plugin. If I could do this via a metadata plugboard, it would happen whenever I sent a new book to the device.
And for the record, I have added comments to the metadata plugboard in my dev environment. It is a very, very simple change and I have been using it for a long time with no problems. But, I haven't tested it with anything other than a Kobo device.
But, lets wait and see if chaley had a reason
