Hi Cliff,

Unfortunately, the measurements table can only contain numeric data,
except in the second column titled "Label". That column is used to store
the filename, so the only way to include non-numeric information in the
table is to encode it in the filename of each image. It would be a major
rework to change the measurements table code to be compatible with
non-numeric data, so I don't expect the limitation to change in the near
future. I hope you can find a way to work around that limitation for now.

Karen.
