Description:
Using Database -> Synchronize with Any Source , all comments on tables and columns will be exported as "COMMENT = /* comment truncated */ /*<actual comment in full length>*/", which is syntactically invalid and therefore breaks this features.

How to repeat:
Synchronize any table with a new comment on the table or a column using Database -> Synchronize with Any Source.

Suggested fix:
remove /* truncated comment */ and replace the comment markers (/**/) by single-quotes.

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
