Take hints by default from DB column comments?

[winstonwolff]

I hope Formtastic is the right place to ask this. I think it's Formtastic that has the logic which determines default labels, and input types for an ActiveRecord field. I'm however using as part of ActiveAdmin.

ActiveRecord allows one to add comments to DB columns. See https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_migrations.html#column-modifiers

Is there a way for one to use those comments to populate an inputs hint option in Formtastic/ActiveAdmin forms by default? Can someone point me to a good place to start digging for where the system starts figuring out default values for 'input' labels and types?
