Include Calculation Effort in the line items API

In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Recentyl Anaplan released Calculation Effort column, also in classic enginge (https://community.anaplan.com/discussion/160124/calculation-effort-column-for-classic-engine). However, currenlty it's only accessible from web GUI via browser, but not via API, like via this endpoint:

'https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/models/{modelId}/lineItems?includeAll=true'

The idea is to bring this great feature also to API to allow for more automated analysis of line items - the same way we already have there cell count and formula fields.

Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: I am trying to get calculation effort automatically for many lineitems. If I can't do that, I will have to "hack" the solution by doing emulation of browser/RPA to get these details from the frontend.

How often is this impacting your users? It's impacting our admins and solution architects by not allowing us to build the automated solution via APIs.

Who is this impacting? solution architects & integration experts

What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience? Ideally Anaplan would add this field to the APIs output. It would add value by allowing us to analyze the models via API, checking which lineitems are problematic in terms of performance and automatically detemining where we can improve it.
