What happened?

I am using the 2.4.3 version of Filtercodes on both Moodle Workplace 4.1 and Workplace 4.3 - I am not able to see any Course Summary data in the Description column when I use the {coursecards} tag with list layout selected in the admin interface. This information does appear once switching to Horizontal layout in the admin interface.

What do you think should have happened?

When I add {coursecards} or {coursecards 86} in a label on a Custom Page, Course page topic, or on the Dashboard I expected to see the text entered in a course's Course Summary field (in course settings) to appear in the description column. When I inspect the code in my browser, the TD cell is entirely empty. This information does populate when switching the admin settings to Horizontal View.

Course Description (aka Summary) appears in Horizontal View:

Course Description (aka Summary) does not appear in List View:

Steps to reproduce

1. Login as Admin and on the Filter Codes Admin settings page, set Course cards layout to "Horizontal"
2. Go to the Dashboard, or a Custom Page if in Moodle Workplace, and add two labels
3. In one label paste {coursecards} and save
4. Paste {coursecards 86} into the other label -- but swap 86 with any other Moodle category ID that contains courses in which some courses have some text populated in the Course Summary field.
5. Save and confirm a list of courses is visible.
6. Also confirm that descriptions are populated for courses that contain them.
7. Return to the Filter codes Admin settings page and set Course cards layout to "List"
8. Return to the Dashboard or Custom page and confirm that the list of courses is still visible.
9. Confirm whether not course descriptions are populated into the Description column for courses that contain them.

Workaround

I use CSS to hid the third TH column to hide the entire Description column at this time.

Additional information

I understand this is Moodle Workplace and that support here may be limited but wanted to report this in case it's also happening on Non-Workplace.
