Description
The label comment is a field in the database used to help distinguish labels with identical names.
The label comment will appear in the search results next to each name: the comment should be kept fairly short. A few words is normally enough, just enough that someone reading it will recognize the Label they're looking for. The label comment field is not a place to store general background information: that kind of information should go in the LabelAnnotation.
You will be prompted to enter a comment any time you enter a new Label which shares its name with an existing Label, but you'll not be prompted to enter a comment for the "old" one. To enhance the search results, you should ideally provide a comment for the old Label as well, by editing it on its EditLabelPage.
