Greetings Everyone! Here's an update. There was an issue fixed that affected the behavior here, and there was a lot of back and forth on how to handle this. So, I appreciate everyone's input. If the quality score is not applicable, then the quality score will no longer be filled in. On the back-end, it's being sent back as a null. There was just a lot of general confusion from people when they were getting quality scores for items where it didn't make sense.
