Hi there,
When creating an external table in Unity Catalog using an existing Delta Lake table with a comment on the table itself, the comment isn't imported to the `Comment` key's value in the Unity Catalog table.
Could you explain why?

Hi team,
Have you tried using SQL command to update the column comment?
ALTER TABLE <table_name> ALTER COLUMN <column_name> COMMENT '<comment_text>';
I believe this should resolve the issue
