457147936 MDU6SXNzdWU0NTcxNDc5MzY= 512 "about" parameter in metadata does not appear when alone 7936571 open 0     3 2019-06-17T21:04:20Z 2019-10-11T15:49:13Z   NONE  

Here's an example of metadata I have for one database on datasette.

"Records-requests": { "tables": { "Some table": { "about": "This table has data." } } }

The text in about does not show up when I publish the data. But it shows up after I add a "source" parameter in the metadata.

Is this intended?
