Category BreadcrumbList (json)

[GTServices]

I'm not sure if this is an oversight, a bug, or "working as designed"...
But a complete BreadcrumbList does not show in category pages.

Take for example...

The BreadcrumbList (html source) for https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/307-community-led-resources/ is 

<script type='application/ld+json'>
{
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
    "itemListElement": [
        {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 1,
            "item": {
                "@id": "https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/",
                "name": "Forums"
            }
        }
    ]
}    
</script>

Shouldn't it be 2 levels deep? Like...

<script type='application/ld+json'>
{
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
    "itemListElement": [
        {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 1,
            "item": {
                "@id": "https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/",
                "name": "Forums"
            }
        },
        {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 2,
            "item": {
                "@id": "https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/307-community-led-resources/",
                "name": "Community Led Resources"
            }
        }
    ]
}	
</script>

Anyway, this causes the following problems in Google SERPs...

The first result goes to https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/307-community-led-resources/

The second result goes to https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/503-customization-resources/

The more I look at this it's likely IPS decided to not breadcrumb the landing pages (makes sense)...
but, the "forums" breadcrumb does show for the Forums landing page. (We should follow one or the other. Either have it on landing page or not.)

The breadcrumb for category pages are really screwed up on Google. It shows the page slug instead of the category title. Maybe this is something with Google and not really IPS?? Or, maybe it's the lack of info in the structured markup ??

We are mirroring the actual breadcrumb and not including the URL to the current page. We can investigate to see if the URL to the current page should be added.

i.e. at the example URL you started with, you see this in the breadcrumb and you'll note the last entry isn't a URL (so it's not included):
