What happened?

The audit with the id layout-shifts doesn’t define details.headings[n].subHeadings.valueType for the node.

{
  "more": "stuff...",
  "headings": [
    {
      "key": "node",
      "label": "Element",
      "valueType": "node",
      "subItemsHeading": {
        "key": "extra",
      }
    },
    {
      "key": "score",
      "label": "Layout shift score",
      "valueType": "numeric",
      "granularity": 0.001,
      "subItemsHeading": {
        "key": "cause",
        "valueType": "text"
      }
    }
  ],
  "more": "stuff...",
}

What did you expect?

I expected the node item to have valueType: 'node':

{
  "more": "stuff...",
  "headings": [
    {
      "key": "node",
      "label": "Element",
      "valueType": "node",
      "subItemsHeading": {
        "key": "extra",
        "valueType": "node"
      }
    },
    {
      "key": "score",
      "label": "Layout shift score",
      "valueType": "numeric",
      "granularity": 0.001,
      "subItemsHeading": {
        "key": "cause",
        "valueType": "text"
      }
    }
  ],
  "more": "stuff...",
}

Okay, I understand it better now 😅 There are different types of subItems so the type of the sub item can't be defined on the upper level.
