Sorry, I forgot to mention that I also tried Samuel's suggestion,
just for self-education purposes, to follow along and see
what I can learn.

On this machine I am running now I get the below output,
which I hope is useful just as an example for discussion.

All the lines in it look similar to what you provided in your original
message. So I'm not clear how running that command will
provide any extra information that would solve your issue.

I can understand how it would be helpful in the case
of Type:boolean, but I don't see how it helps in the situation of
Type:note, that I've just learned about today.
