Extend APEX_APPLICATION_ADMIN to get/set Application Comments

mandreato Public · Nov 22 2025

Idea Summary
The APEX_APPLICATION_ADMIN package provides APIs to modify application attributes of installed Oracle APEX applications. “Application Comments” attribute is used to describe an application or track developers involved in the application development but it's not supported yet.

Use Case
Programmatically update  “Application Comments” attribute.

Preferred Solution (Optional)

APEX_APPLICATION_ADMIN.SET_APPLICATION_COMMENTS (
    p_application_id    IN NUMBER,
    p_application_comments IN CLOB)
    
APEX_APPLICATION_ADMIN.GET_APPLICATION_COMMENTS (
    p_application_id    IN NUMBER) RETURN CLOB
We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    Hi, the team has reviewed your idea today. It's a valid proposal, however we aren't able to prioritize it right now. Hopefully we can revisit it in the future.

    In the meantime I will continue to make updates directly on APEX_xxyy00.WWV_Flow_Banner which is inconvenient because you have to know the APEX_xxyy00 schema actually installed and have a user with the necessary grants.
