I did that and it only worked for figure captions, not for table captions.

That would be a bug, but I can't confirm it with

"Above" is default from Bug 40457 and Bug 115032.

This is WontFix.

Please explain what you did.
I see that: 
- if we turn on Tools => Options => LibreOffice Writer => Auto Caption - Add Caption Automatically for Writer Table and set to Below or change later to Above, than it works.
- but we cannot set to Below and turn off Add Caption Automatically and keep Below (I guess that's what you noticed).

Previously we could change default and turn off Add Caption Automatically and see it in options right but that still wouldn't work. At least with 6.0 beta. 
So we have more consistent UI now but we also have a bug.
Should be tested more thoroughly for regression and all options mentioned in Bug 33338 should be tested. 
But I'll confirm so far.

Perhaps bug 33338 is also resolved?
You could help by testing current state of all options, whether they: work, work for all insert procedures, can be saved as default, default saving depends on Add Caption Automatically etc.
