Can you still add a comment to the shared data of a string table row?

I recently updated from localization version 1.4.5 to 1.5.2. Previously, I was able to add a comment to the shared data of a row, which I used for my translation tool. Now when I “see metadata” for an entry and use the + button to add Shared Entry metadata, I do not see Comment as an option. Is there still a way to do this?

Hmm this sounds like a bug, likely caused during the upgrade of the table editor.
Could you please file a bug report? Unity QA: Building quality with passion

In the issue there is the following note:

There are other ways of seeing and adding the Metadata entries, but this issue is specific to the list called by the three vertical dots menu

I have not been able to yet find another place to add the desired metadata comment. Is there one?

I think its referring to adding them via script. We allow any metadata to be added when done via script and once its added you can then edit it like normal in the editor. So as a workaround, you could write a menu item to add the metadata

This example does it with a RequiresTranslating metadata.
