I am new to Azure DevOps Extensions. Not sure what I am doing wrong here but I cannot get certain fields for work items returned by the getWorkItems REST API.

I have tried everything I can find on the message boards and still cannot get certain specified fields to return in the results.

You can see the fields array below to see the specific fields I am trying to get back with the results.

Here are the fields that I can't seem to get returned in the results

"Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StartDate"
"Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StoryPoints"
"Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.TargetDate"
"System.AssignedTo"
"Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.CompletedWork"

 VSS.require(["VSS/Service", "TFS/WorkItemTracking/RestClient"],
 function (VSS_Service, TFS_Wit_WebApi) 
 // Get the REST client
 var witClient = VSS_Service.getCollectionClient(TFS_Wit_WebApi.WorkItemTrackingHttpClient);

 var fields = ["System.Id", "Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StartDate", "Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StoryPoints", "Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.TargetDate", "System.WorkItemType", "System.Title", "System.AssignedTo", "System.State", "System.Tags", "Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.CompletedWork", "System.Description", "Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.FinishDate"];
 var ids = [workItemID];

 witClient.getWorkItems(ids, fields).then( 
 function(result) 
 document.getElementById("codeblock").innerText = JSON.stringify(result);

 );

 );

Here is the JSON that is returned

 [
 "id": 7743,
 "rev": 3,
 "fields": 
 "System.Id": 1234,
 "System.WorkItemType": "Feature",
 "System.State": "Closed",
 "System.Title": "Sprint 39 - Technical"
 ,
 "url": "https://<companyurl>/_apis/wit/workItems/1234"
 ]

I have even tried the ExpandAll optional parameter in the getWorkItems call and those fields are not returned with the results.

i.e:

 witClient.getWorkItems(ids, undefined, undefined, ["All"]).then( 
 function(result) {

I am stumped, any help or direction on where to look to find these values would be very helpful and appreciated.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. In the vss-extension.json extension manifest file there is a section for scopes. I had to change the scope from "vso.work" to "vso.work_full" and that did the trick. I am now able to get all the fields for the work items

"scopes": ["vso.work"],

To

"scopes": ["vso.work_full"],
