Where is the description/ comment stored in MongoDb?

Hello,

 

I've been struggling with locating the comment/ description field below in the Alteryx MongoDB (highlighted in the screenshot).

 

I can find the revision documents in appsInfos with all the other fields matching (date, author, etc) but the description column is always blank, even on the metadata and published revision embedded fields. 

 

I also tried the AuditEvent collection but the comment is blank there too. Can you please indicate where this field is stored? (it has to be somewhere since it's visible in the frontend!)

 

Been struggling with this one for weeks, so appreciate any help. Thanks.

@SafaBelfekih It looks like it's in the PackageDefinition field in the package_Definitions Table in the AlteryxService Collection (Post here). If you have a recent version of server, the _ServiceData has been replaced with the fields like below which are easier to use:
