Show "0" count in embedded view title when nothing found

Description:

Currently, when using embedded views with GLQL queries that return no results, the title doesn't display a count. This makes it impossible to distinguish between a view that's still loading versus one that has legitimately returned zero results.

Proposed Enhancement:

Display 0 in the embedded view title when a query returns no issues.

Use Case:

I frequently use GLQL to gather issue counts for various reports and prefer collapsed views to see counts at a glance. When there are no results (which is sometimes expected), I cannot tell whether:

  • The view is still loading, or
  • There are indeed no results

Showing 0 in the title would provide immediate clarity that the query has completed and found no issues.

Example:

View title would show: Engineering Completion Tracking (0) instead of just Engineering Completion Tracking

Impact:

This is a small quality-of-life improvement that would enhance the usability of embedded views, particularly for users who rely on collapsed views for quick metric scanning.
