Is there a known issue with the “Subtitle” Text block for Data Viewer Lists and Data Viewer Grids?

I’ve tried to display or add on to the subtitle value after setting it (and even displaying it correctly in a viewer) but it always just returns the text “Subtitle” instead.

For example, if I have a data source and the column mapped to the Subtitle has the value “Test” and I run the blocks below, the Subtitle changes to the value “Subtitle”.

You’re right! That works, thanks. I’m still wondering why the other method fails but at least I have a way to do this.
