      System Firmware Version: 430.120.6.0.0

So I can find the SMC  Version under Hardware to display in a Computer report but not this.

Are you looking to collect this info and display it for each computer? If so, sounds like a good candidate for a Computer Extension Attribute.

My point was that it should already be collected like the SMC version.

Ok, fair point. Jamf Pro collects a lot of information by default, but there's always going to be something someone somewhere will want collected as well. For those, you can either add a new Feature Request to see if Jamf is interested in adding it, or, as I said, just add it as an Extension Attribute. That's kind of what they were created for, since Jamf knew early on they would never be able to satisfy everyone's data collection needs.

Apparently there are fields already in the database unpopulated.
