@lampwins commented on GitHub (Aug 29, 2019):

The comments field on the DeviceType model is intended for comments directed at that DeviceType, not that those comments would expand to the Devices using that DeviceType. You are likely trying to use DeviceTypes as more of templates than they are intended to represent, which is just hardware configurations shipped by a vendor.

You will likely be interested in #1364 and also #3423
