I have a multiqc\_config.yaml file as the following:

```yaml
skip_generalstats: true

exclude_modules:
  - prokka

custom_data:
    Core_gene_SNP:
        id: 'Core_gene_SNP'
        section_name: 'Core gene SNP'
        description: "Core gene SNP"
        plot_type: 'table'
        pconfig:
            id: 'Core gene SNP'
            namespace: 'Core gene SNP'

    Accessory_gene_profiling:
        id: 'Accessory_gene_profiling'
        section_name: 'Accessory gene profiling'
        description: "Accessory gene profiling"
        plot_type: 'table'
        pconfig:
            id: 'Accessory gene profiling'
            namespace: 'Accessory gene profiling'

    Intergenic_region_core_SNP:
        id: 'Intergenic_region_core_SNP'
        section_name: 'Intergenic region core SNP'
        description: "Intergenic region core SNP"
        plot_type: 'table'
        pconfig:
            id: 'Intergenic region core SNP'
            namespace: 'Intergenic region core SNP'

    Intergenic_region_accessory_profiling:
        id: 'Intergenic_region_accessory_profiling'
        section_name: 'Intergenic region accessory profiling'
        description: "Intergenic region accessory profiling"
        plot_type: 'table'
        pconfig:
            id: 'Intergenic region accessory profiling'
            namespace: 'Intergenic region accessory profiling'

custom_plot_config:
    Intergenic_region_core_SNP_table:
      col1_header: "Identifiers"
      min: 1000

custom_table_header_config:
    Accessory_gene_profiling_table:
        accessory_gene_profiling-p_value:
            format: "{:,.5f}"

    Intergenic_region_core_SNP_table:
        intergenic_region_core_snp-SNP_Position:
            format: "{:,d}"

    Intergenic_region_accessory_profiling_table:
        intergenic_region_accessory_profiling-p_value:
            format: "{:,.5f}"

sp:
    Core_gene_SNP:
        fn: 'core_SNP-sites.tsv'
    Accessory_gene_profiling:
        fn: 'filtered_accessories.tsv'
    Intergenic_region_core_SNP:
        fn: 'IGR_coreSNP.tsv'
    Intergenic_region_accessory_profiling:
        fn: 'IGR_accessories.tsv'

```

I followed the instruction on [Customising reports | Seqera Docs](https://docs.seqera.io/multiqc/reports/customisation) to extract the table ID and header ID by clicking _Configure Columns_ above the table I want to customise. However, both _custom\_plot\_config_ and _custom\_table\_header\_config_ setting weren’t formatted as the setting. Did I miss something here?
