I just confirmed that it is still doing this (Emacs 28.2, org 9.5.5). The result looks the same as before:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :scope file :maxlevel 2 :properties ("HOURLY_RATE") :inherit-props t
#+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2022-10-17 Mon 16:50]
| HOURLY_RATE | Headline | Time | |
|-------------+--------------+--------+------|
| | *Total time* | *2:30* | |
|-------------+--------------+--------+------|
| | Top 1 | 1:00 | |
| | \_ Sub 1A | | 1:00 |
| 110 | Top 2 | 1:30 | |
| 110 | \_ Sub 2A | | 1:00 |
| 90 | \_ Sub 2B | | 0:30 |
#+END:
Note that the first column next to "Sub 1A" is empty.
Can you send the result of evaluating the clocktable in your config?
Thanks,
Jeff
