| I have this one on hand, how can I add an inventory for it?
I think only the head is a new piece - the torso and legs appear to be the same
as in this minifig:

P.S.
Please also check with your set what type of stud head has.
You submitted it as hollow stud (c type)
[p=3626c]
LEGO rectently changed mold for transparent heads to vented stud
[p=28621]
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=28621*
so what type of stud head from this set has?

As an aside, what is the difference between a vented stud and a blocked open
stud with a single interior bar across the center? The thickness of the bar?

That's what I thought, but on the catalog page for [p=3626b]
it says "this part has a variant with a single interior bar across the center"
and there is even a picture of such a minifig head.
Would it be too much effort to change "Vented Stud" to "Stud with 2 Holes" and
"Blocked Open Stud" to "Stud with 3 Holes" or something like that? To someone
unfamiliar with the catalog, the terms "Vented Stud" and "Blocked Open Stud"
may seem synonymous. Then again, someone unfamiliar with the catalog probably
doesn't care. Just a suggestion.

Remember this case 
Image will not be deleted.
Picture and note was added in November 2018. When Paul found it for the first
time and admin that time didn't know more about it so they added his picture
and a note to current 3626b
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1115430
For the first time vented head was found in sets in march 2020
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1184827
so 1,5 half year later
But see Paul later message from march therad
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1185193
When you compare current vented stud and one on Paul image you will see that
bar is different - thinner. So it isn't present part 28621. Origin of Paul
mold I think is still unknown.

They are synonymous. The catalog has failed here in multiple ways:
1. Adding this mold variant in the first place and forcing non-collectors to
try to figure out something that doesn't matter to anyone else.
2. Giving it a confusing title (vented) that applies to all partially open studs.
3. Not properly distinguishing open stud types by title. There are at least
three partially open stud types that are used for than just figure heads. I've
updated this page to show them (scroll to the bottom):
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2493
And then the site itself has failed here by not designing a way that collectors
can separate these minor differences while the majority of users can ignore them
if they choose.

My thoughts exactly and so is there a long term solution for this in the pipeline
or will the catalog have to remain hindered for the sake of keeping stud types
separated?

We've asked for a long-term solution for all part variants. Roughly, it
would involve a single catalog entry that buyers or sellers could customize with
specific variants. This will allow people who don't care about variants
to never worry about them. It will also allow much more specificity and sorting
of variants for collectors. So a major win for everyone.
The only problem is how such a system would integrate with inventories, but I'm
sure that can be solved.
As for whether we'll get what we asked for or not . . . well, we do have
XP. And Studio. And a program for building mosaics. And the ADP. And IC.
And the CEP. So . . . priorities, I guess.

As a short term solution is it not possible to merge minifig head types and insist
that people leave the stud type in the comments. I understand it will affect
people from being able to narrow down their wanted list searches but having to
purchases heads manually is a small price to pay if it means having a more complete
and accurate minifig inventory?

Many things are possible. But I don't imagine we'll do much differently
than we've been doing in this area for right now.

I don't want to sound like I'm being critical over the good work you
guys do but when stud types take such precedence and are so detrimental to the
navigation and linking of correct heads to minifigures it adds very little useful
funtionality in my opinion. I'm sure most just want to know what heads are
intended for what minifigure(s) and if we can cater for those that want to know
stud types then great but when its done at the expense of cataloging certain
heads that supposedly don't belong or link to any minifigure at all or
that are split between different minifigs depending on the stud type you have
to ask why a random stud type that was never inteneded to have any importance
by TLG is so important to the catalog? Please can someone also clarify my question
about selling minifigs here:-
