Custom table configs do not work anymore in v1.24.1 (custom_table_header_config, table_columns_placement)

Hi all :slight_smile:

I noticed that in version 1.24.1 (vs 1.20 i had before) custom_table_header_config and table_columns_placement stopped formatting the table as they did before, they seem to have no effect.

Specifically I am updating the multiqc section in the nf-core/multiplesequencealign pipeline, here the specific commit where you can see in the commented part in multiqc_config.yml the bits that are not being correctly read anymore, but were before.

I checked the documentation but I seem not to find a good alternative to using these definitions.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Hey @luisa_santus, we indeed broke it accidentally in the previous release. Here is my attempt to fix this: Separate anchors and IDs for sections: use IDs for Python configation, and anchors in HTML by vladsavelyev · Pull Request #2797 · MultiQC/MultiQC · GitHub - we can make a patch release to get you moving.

Hey @vlad.savelyev, thanks a lot for looking into this.

A patch release sounds great to me, thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Best,
