Hey there, I had a similar problem and was having issues with using tablefield with field_collection so I whipped up a quick solution.

The patch attached here will add a "Table header" textbox to the table field. I can see this being a common use case when you want multiple tables, my solution coud definitely be improved on.

Cheers!

Now that I think about it, this could be a nice feature, I'd envisage it working like when you active "title" and "alt" on image fields with with image module.

My patch is kind of hackish, but if it's the kind of thing you guys would be interested to commit to the module I'd be happy to go through and do a more "proper" implementation... interested?

The patch probably could use a reroll against the latest dev.

Curious how this differs from the already available "Table Description"? Other than the Table Description being the caption tag as opposed to something else, it serves the same purpose from what I can tell.

I guess that at the time of the creation of the feature request the caption field was not available yet. Now that it is, indeed, it seems it serves the same purpose. Thus closing as being a duplicate of #1251738: Allow ability to set table caption.
