List in GUI vdisk-view allocated capacity of all 3 tiers of a 3-tier-hybrid pool even one tier is not allocated

Can you list in the GUI's vdisk-view the allocated capacity value of all 3 tiers of a 3-tier-hybrid pool any time even one tier is not allocated ?

In example:
a volume contents of 100 extents (1GB), is assigned to 3-tier-pool
10 GB Flash Tier allocation
90 GB Enterprise Tier allocation
In the GUI view we currently cannot see that the Nearline tier has 0 GB allocation


For comparision:

(1) In CLI lsvdisk view all three tiers are visable any time as single value even there is only capacity allocated on SSD and SAS - not on learline.

(2) In the GUI''s pool view are also all three tiers are visable even only the SAS- and SSD-tier are actually allocated with some GB extents but the Nearline tier not allocated (0GB)

(3) In the vdisk-View of the GUI we can see in this situation only listed the SSD-tier and the SAS-tier, but NOT the Nearline-tier.

Can you improve (3) on this way that - if a volume is part of a 3-tier hybrid pool - then all related three tiers should be listed in the GUI view of vdisk view even one of the tiers is currently not allocated by related extents ? This gives the GUI users a clearer picture about the placement of the extent related to this volume.
