NewUI - Need better clarity on the count of categories/items at category level

Consider the scenario, when a parent category has 2 child categories and each child category has only items mapped to it. Here in the NewUI, the parent category hovers (Category contains 2 subcategories and 0 items)

Parent Category (2/0)
Child Category1 (0/200)
Child Category2 (0/400)


which is misleading to the thought that there are no items mapped under the parent. Alternatively, if the number next to the slash "/" is the aggregation of all the items under a category, it will be easy for the business users for a better understanding.

Parent Category (2/600)
Child Category1 (0/200)
Child Category2 (0/400)
