Hi, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I tested out the behavior myself, and I am seeing the same "null" values in the UI. I think you are right, that the category groupings probably got mixed in with the actual categories, and that SENSITIVE is perhaps another grouping. I'll bring up this issue with the core engineering team and let you know once I have more information.
