Hi,

In the context of the jobs, you don't want the complete dictionary 
because you don't know in which timeframe it will be executed, data 
could have been invalidated meantime.

However, I agree that there are use cases where you need the values as well:
 - subscribing a consumer doing other things than creating a job
 - creating a job or another depending on the values

To be consistent, we would need to add the dictionary in the 
'on_record_create' event too.

Cheers,
