Research direction
Start with the query_by_wiql and get_work_items calls shown in the issue, then read the Azure DevOps Python API documentation for their supported fields and request behavior. Done means establishing whether one call can return the requested work-item fields and, if not, defining the required API or documentation change.

Description
Hi There, I tried to use the following codes to execute my query with wiql. However, it depends on two times api calls, one is query_by_wiql and the other is get_work_items. In the first method, it will get all the ids (but no other fields), in the later one, it will get work items based on the ids returned in the first method. My question is that is there a way to directly query and get my desired fields in just one call?
credentials = BasicAuthentication('', api_token)
connection = Connection(base_url=server, creds=credentials)
client = connection.clients.get_work_item_tracking_client()
wiql = Wiql(query=query)
wiql_results = client.query_by_wiql(wiql, top=100).work_items
if wiql_results:
ids = [str(res.id) for res in wiql_results]
work_items = client.get_work_items(ids, fields=fields)
