Units not shown in AstropyTable visualisation

• Astropy Tables and Units
• data exportation

Hello,

The oda_api.data_products.ODAAstropyTable allows me to output the content of astropy Tables, which is great since in principle one could generate tables where the columns are tie to their physical units. However, I noticed these units get lost somewhere in the back_end, and not only the table that can be visualized in the front end misses the units, but the default exportation file is on ecsv format - which is a prior unitless as well.

Thanks @juliaroquette for the report!

@dsavchenko could you please have a look?

The ecsv there preserves units. You can see it in the "header" of the file if you download it.
So this is only a table visualisation issue.

It requires some effort to fix because the table is constructed using astropy's html writer, and it doesn't have an option to output units.
