Function Reference/update comment meta
Description
The function update_comment_meta() updates the value of an existing comment meta key for the specified comment.
This may be used in place of the add_comment_meta() function. The first thing this function will do is make sure that $meta_key already exists on $comment_id. If it does not it will be added.
Returns true on success and false on failure.
Usage
<?php update_comment_meta( $comment_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $prev_value ); ?>

- $comment_id
- (integer) (required) The ID of the comment which contains the field you will edit.
