That requirement has been removed, so the value is now returned whenever it's present.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis means the effort-level value, when set, is no longer hidden by conditions that previously could suppress it from being shown.\n\n- Area: Effort\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
