Small (?) change request for the industryJobs API

I've finally got some time to tinker with the industry jobs / industry jobs history API's in relation to one of the tools I built awhile back. After Crius I had to disable this small tool because the API didn't return the data I needed to make it work anymore. A few of us here asked for some changes, which did happen and seemed to be helpful.

After looking at the data returned for both API's on invention jobs, I noticed that I can pretty much figure out what the input skills and decryptor used for T2 jobs from the probability field. I'm pretty sure I could use the probability to figure out what relic was used as well.

However, I noticed an issue with the Symmetry Decryptor, which doesn't have a bonus to probability, making it the same as no decryptor there. The issue then is that if someone uses the Symmetry Decryptor, it adds 2 runs to the end BPC and I can't get that information to determine the Symmetry Decryptor was used in the job.

My request is that I hope we can get the resulting runs of the BPC (if successful) for each invention job entered. This would help me determine (I"m pretty sure anyway) the initial materials used in the invention. The information is available now in the industry window, but I don't see it anywhere in the API.

After looking at the documentation on this from the dev page, I noticed that runs and successfulRuns are used already. However, I didn't notice the 'licencedRuns' field used for anything. Also, I'm not sure what it is doing right now anyway. For my invention jobs they all show 200 for my Damage Control I BP but even as I use more runs from the BPC it doesn't change, and the max runs is 300 per copy anyway.

REQUEST: Can we get the number of resulting runs on the final BPC, if successful, stored in the licencedRuns field for invention jobs? It would allow us to determine the inputs (and resulting stats) for invention jobs without changing the API. If this field is used for something, then I'd love to know what it is and what it is suppose to represent.

Thanks
