Recently, our company decided to move to Altium 365 since we are starting a big project where multiple people will be working on a single project. We have a local library that is up to date and used trough the company.
For all our resistors and capacitors, the part comment is "=Value" so when placing the component we get this:
But, after migrating the library to the cloud, all the comments just got replaced with the Design Item ID, so we get this:
And I can't figure out how to change it. I looked at all the options available during the migration step, I tried to edit the components once they are in the library, but the Comment field just ist there to be edited. I tried to manually create part comment field, but Altium just puts out an error and states that its an "Reserved Parameter name".
I would like to keep all my Comment parameters from before the migration, but I would be happy if I just figured out how to change it for Resistors and Capacitors.

Use the Name attributem when editing component, it is the former Comment.
