Add the word "Supplementary" in the caption title of longtblr

Question

The longtblr caption title does not change from "Table" to "Supplementary Table", as the table caption title does. Indeed, in the longtblr caption title, I would like to add the word "Supplementary" just before the word "Table". How can I do it?

Here following you can find a MWE, with the corresponding result, and the document class I used (that contains the command to add the word "Supplementary", i.e. \renewcommand{\fnum@table}{Supplementary \tablename~\thetable}):

EDITED after the @Celdor's answer

Thanks a lot @Celdor! Just a doubt.. Is it normal that the Supplementary Table 2 caption title, related to \begin{longtblr}[theme = supplementary, ... is smaller than the Supplementary Table 1 caption title, related to

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline
Condition & n & p \\
\hline
A & 5 & 0.1 \\
\hline
B & 10 & 0.01 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{\label{tab:example}Legend (350 words max). Example legend text.}
\end{table}

as shown in the following picture?

I would like to add the word "Supplementary" just before the word "Table". How can I do it?

tabularray, specifically with longtblr as well as talltblr works along templates. Each component of a longtblr and talltblr has a template. By default tabularray creates two templates default and empty. The former is applied to all elements by default. Changing the default template changes all tables created via longtblr/talltblr.

In order to change a tag name from Table to Supplementary Table in a specific table, the first step would be to create your own template, say supplementary, for the caption components and caption itself. Since longtablr applies three separate caption templates when table is on the first, middle, and the last page, that is for firsthead, middlehead, and lasthead, you have to apply the same (or different) caption template for each one. It might look complicated at first but in the end it provides a lot of flexibility.

In your specific case, you would need to add the following to your code:

% Define and setup templates
\DefTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}{
  \DefTblrTemplate{caption-tag}{supplementary}{Supplementary Table \thetable}%
  \DefTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{supplementary}{.}%
  \centering
  \UseTblrTemplate{caption-tag}{supplementary}%
  \UseTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{supplementary}
  \UseTblrTemplate{caption-text}{default}\par
}
\DefTblrTemplate{firsthead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}
\DefTblrTemplate{middlehead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}
\DefTblrTemplate{lasthead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}
% Apply templates%
\NewTblrTheme{supplementary}{
  \SetTblrStyle{caption-tag}{font=\bfseries}
  \SetTblrTemplate{firsthead}{supplementary}
  \SetTblrTemplate{middlehead}{supplementary}
  \SetTblrTemplate{lasthead}{supplementary}
}

See the code below for the MWE

In therms of regular tables and captions, I would recommend working with templates, as well. For instance, you could create a template bfdot for custom captions. caption provides commands for that, e.g.

\DeclareCaptionFormat{bfdot}{\textbf{#1}.~#3}

Then such template could applied either locally inside table env. or globally in both cases using \captiosetup{fromat=...}. See code of the MWE.

The MWE:

\documentclass[twocolumn,fleq]{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{tabularray}
% tabularray's internal package is recommended for improved formatting, including vertical bars 
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs}
% Define and setup templates

  \UseTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{supplementary}
  \UseTblrTemplate{caption-text}{default}\par
}
\DefTblrTemplate{firsthead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}
\DefTblrTemplate{middlehead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}
\DefTblrTemplate{lasthead}{supplementary}{\UseTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}}

Many thanks@Celdor !!! Please see my *EDITED* part in my original question about a silly doubt I got after implementing your solution into my code :-) — Ommo, Nov 13 '23 at 14:01
Np. The content inside \DefTblrTemplate{caption}{supplementary}{...} is nearly a regular paragraph. As such, it accepts almost any formatting macro. For instance, in order to achieve right alignment, change \centering to \raggedright. ragged2e package defines a much improved version \RaggedRight which also adds hyphenations. You could also try to change \centering to \raggedright\hangindent1.25cm\hangafter1 and have a hang-out caption by 1.25cm. For more sophisticated formatting, you would need to apply boxes. — Celdor, Nov 13 '23 at 14:34
Thanks for your comment @Celdor !! :-) .....but I think there has been a tiny misunderstanding... Is your comment related to the size of the captions titles? I was indeed talking about the size of *Supplementary Table 2* caption title (related to longtblr), which is smaller than the size of *Supplementary Table 1* caption title (related to the classical table).. :-) — Ommo, Nov 13 '23 at 15:02
I assumed caption size rather than font size. my bad. On my end, they look the same while I can see your screenshot shows otherwise. It's likely due to a custom document class and custom style, which my approach does not pick. You can adjust it by yourself. For regular tables use \captionsetup[...]{..., font=<size>} where <size> keyword must be normalsize or small etc. (see documentation for more key words). For tabularray use a regular paragraph macro : \normalsize or \small etc. — Celdor, Nov 13 '23 at 15:38

Add the word "Supplementary" in the caption title of longtblr
