My guess would be this is a consequence of the move from HFS to APFS, but it could be a different style of bug.

Attention with Forklift. It is still unable to handle Finder comments: In Forklift you cannot attach a comment to a file/folder (⌘I; tags work fine) If you copy/duplicate a file with Forklift the previously attached comments (e.g. via Finder) are gone I’ve sent a bug report about this to binarynights in 2017, and they have acknowledged the issue. But, with Forklift 3.3.4 it still seems to be unaddressed. So, strictly spoken, FL is not macOS compatible. Of course, if you never use comments,…

Maybe the folks at binarynights have encountered similar issues, but then the problem already was there before APFS has appeared.
