Re: [BUG] ob-gnuplot.el can't handle importing more than one table from the current file [9.6.1 ( @ /home/thomas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6.1/)]

May you provide an example of such problem?

I just tried

#+name: table1
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
#+name: table2
| 1 | -1 |
| 2 | -2 |
| 3 | -3 |
| 4 | -4 |
| 5 | -5 |

#+begin_src gnuplot :var x=table1 y=table2 :cache no
plot x, y w l
#+end_src

And both the tables are correctly plotted.
