Coda-Induced Typo in Parameter

Minor but important observation with packs

I have a pack where I have defined a parameter as “DOIs”

For some reason Coda assumes that is a typo and corrects it to “DO is”

The way I entered it in quotes is the way it really should appear.

Yeah it’s a little annoying at times, but I don’t know what a good general solution is, they have it documented here: Add sync tables - Coda Pack SDK

In some areas of the UI, such as the settings pane, the name will be rewritten to add spaces (“BugReports” => “Bug Reports”) for readability.

I prefer snake_case, which would result in less weird words when you convert the underscore to spaces, but that might be a bit late to change now haha. They probably had a good reason for chosing upper CamelCase though

For Pack columns you can override this “normalization” using the displayName field, but we don’t currently have anything like that for parameters, unfortunately.
