[SOLUTION] Bug regarding empty cells being filled when edited in Discourse table

[ioi]

I’m posting this here since I can’t be bothered to make an account for discourse forum but want to share how I got around this bug

TLDR: Use empty characters, so just copy-paste one of these

Bug

So when I was editing Demi’s SB tierlist, I made S tier a table with no column headings, like so:

Oy: S+	(#1 player )
Skilz: S+	(At his prime right now)
ShadowBlade: S
Sundavar: S
realmz=player (sword): S	(Very underrated, better Prime than Oys, so far.)
Amethyst/Leviathan: S-

One problem is if you try to edit the table, the column names will be renamed to a default column name, so something like this:

A	B
Oy: S+	(#1 player )
Skilz: S+	(At his prime right now)
ShadowBlade: S
Sundavar: S
realmz=player (sword): S	(Very underrated, better Prime than Oys, so far.)
Amethyst/Leviathan: S-

Heres the table in text if you want to recreate the bug

{DELETE THIS PART}| | |
|—| —|
|Oy: S+ | (#1 player )|
|Skilz: S+ | (At his prime right now)|
|ShadowBlade: S | |
|Sundavar: S | |
|realmz=player (sword): S | (Very underrated, better Prime than Oys, so far.)|
|Amethyst/Leviathan: S- | |

Solution

Editing a table with empty headers fills them in with the default text...

There is a plugin that would fix this site-wide, but the way a user can fix this is through using empty characters.

Try adding this in place of the title portion: | ‏‏‎‎ | ‏‏‎‎ |
