Custom data into general stats table

[solcos]

Description of bug

I am trying to add new variables to the general stats table of a report using the custom data configuration using an external files (tsv). The problem is that I am getting the variables in a new plot below the general stats table.

In the log it specifies that the plot_type is bargraph although I set it as 'generalstats'.

I've looked at the https://multiqc.info/docs/custom_content/ page and I cannot figure out what is the problem, since I am using the plot_type 'generalstats'.

The config file looks like:

custom_data:
  my_gen_stats:
    id: "stats"
    section_name: "Stats"
    plot_type: 'generalstats'
    pconfig:
      - N_SEQ_BASES_BEFORE:
      - N_SEQ_BASES_AFTER:
      - N_SEQ_BASES_Q30_BEFORE:
      - N_SEQ_BASES_Q30_AFTER:

sp:
  stats:
    fn: "*_stats_mqc.tsv"

Note: I also tried the conf file using the headers to specify the columns with the same result:

and the report looks like:

Do you know what I am doing wrong? Any help will be very useful!

Thank you very much in advance!!
