Thanks for the quick reply Rafael. That definitely got back the 3 dashes, but it still displays as plain text, instead of converting it to a table, like I would expect. So, quite possibly, what I thought was the issue was not :-(. Any other suggestions as to why this may not be displaying correctly as a table after posting thru the API?
