Unhelpful error message: Conversion to matlab.ui.control.Table from table is not possible.

The message

Error using MouseOdor4/startupFcn

Conversion to matlab.ui.control.Table from table is not possible.

is about as unhelpfuls as it gets. Sometimes there is a suggestion or even a Fix option.

How about fixing the error message to read

Did you mean UIMyTable.Data = readtable('file name');

Where UIMyTable.Data = readtable('file name'); is replaced by the actual line of code

Is there a better place to put suggestions than "ask"
