In V7.2, I attempted to webscrape this [table](https://www80.tceq.texas.gov/SwqmisWeb/public/crpparametergroups.faces)

The “Parameter Code” should be read in as a `character` type, but no matter if I check or uncheck “auto detect data type”, it is read in as an `integer`. I assume this is a bug.

My work-around was to copy the table to a local text file.

Thanks in advance!
