Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it currently drops the comment. I can think of a few options and I'm curious which would best fit your use case:

  1. Use the comment as the item title
  2. Store the comment as a text field
  3. Keep the comment on the public key

Option 3 seems like it would make editing the comment difficult. My preference is Option 1 because it could pair nicely with including the title as the comment when the 1Password agent offers public keys.
