Tag result only if requested individually?

Windows 10. On a jpg from an iphone, if I use

"exiftool -s -a -u -G -File:JPEGQualityEstimate img.jpg"

it outputs the quality estimate of 95. If I use the same command without specifying the quality estimate tag, i.e.,

"exiftool -s -a -u -G img.jpg"

it doesn't show the quality estimate in the output. Is there something I'm missing? TY.

"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

TY! That's the last piece of the puzzle to make exiftool work well in Directory Opus with all the desirable tags.
