Bug Report: Caption Not Displaying When Switching from "String" to "Markdown" Column

App Building
1

Issue:
When switching a column from "String" to "Markdown" in the table, the caption disappears. However, the caption functionality continues to work as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a table with a "String" column.
  2. Add a caption to the "String" column.
  3. Switch the column type from "String" to "Markdown."
  4. Observe that the caption is no longer displayed, but still functions in the background.

Expected Behavior:
The caption should remain visible and functional when switching from a "String" column to a "Markdown" column.

Suggested Fix:
Allow "Markdown" columns to support captions in the same way as "String" columns do.

Additional Notes:

  • The disappearance of the caption seems to be a UI issue rather than a functionality issue, as the caption continues to work despite being invisible.

Hello @Derek_Watts!

Thank you for the amazingly formatted post :raised_hands: Tt was very easy to follow, I was able to reproduce the behavior and will make a feature request for this right now :+1:

I wish all posts were like this one :sweat_smile:

That is odd that mark down does not have a caption option for add ons, and the caption I added is still applied even after a column refresh.

It seems the capability is there and now we just need to expose the caption interface to users when the column is set to Markdown. Will update this post with any news I hear from our UI team!
