If I set up a GPIW such as below and check the box “Show only folders”, the value of sum\_qtyweight becomes zero. This seems to be a bug because it ought to be possible to display the number of items in a folder without having to allow further drill-down.

This problem still dogs my footsteps. Is it a bug do you think @Cattlesquat or am I just expecting the wrong outcome ?

Take this example:

This gives me this display. Users can twisty into the folders but are then confused because they are empty (since “Label for pieces” is blank):

If I check “Show Only folders” I get this; no twisty but zero counts too unfortunately:
