#38200 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Store a `comment_type` for all Comments, not just custom comment types

Description

Currently the comment_type column for the comments table only stores a value (like trackback or pingback) when an irregular comment object is added. Standard comments are stored with a comment_type of ''.

SELECT * FROM `wp_comments` WHERE `comment_type` = ' ';

This isn't very intuitive, and does not follow the expectations set by the post_type column in the posts table.

Changing to storing a comment_type value for all comments is also pre-requisite for supporting custom comment types (see #35214).

This change will require an upgrade routine as well as some back-compat work.

Would we store the value as comment? To follow the structure done by post_type been post.
