Anyone know where to find the "Comments" associated with workflow versions within the Gallery MongoDB?

Thanks!

From Alteryx Support: any comments associated with a workflow in gallery can be found in _ServiceData (need to parse out binary field) in the AS_PackageDefinitions collection in the AlteryxService DB.

Garret, hi..thanks for posting this. Have a similar need on Server 2019.1, hoping you might know a solution.

Any suggestions on how to parse _serviceData? The blob convert tool did not work. The macro from the Usage Report returned text with more than 256 chars in <> (i.e. xml-ish). Happy to share workflow screenshots if that helps.
