Yeah, it is a general problem with OpenStreetMaps-based things I think. You can use something like this to help copy a location into Comaps (or any other OSM app):

Works relatively well but is not really convenient.
A gamified version where you solve tasks. I use it all the time. Android only afaik.

For iOS you can use “Go Map!!” . It’s basically the same as street complete
Looks similar, but I think SC is more like a game? This looks more like an editor. SC gives you a question about your current location, like when you walk past a shop it asks you for the opening hours, or what sort of pavement are you currently walking on.
But whatever works for improving OSM I'm happy with.
