core_user_get_users_by_field doesn't return 'alternatename' field

Hello community,

we are using the API function 'core_user_get_users_by_field' to retrieve userdetails by the 'idnumber' field and we noticed that the 'alternatename' field doesn't get returned. Is there a reason for this?

In contrast, the 'alternatename' field gets returned when creating a user with the API function 'core_user_create_users', or when updating a user.

Wouldn't it make sense to also return the 'alternatename' field when explicitly trying to retrieve users information? It seems like a bug that this field is missing.

Is there a way this could be implemented? Is there a better place to ask for this adaptation?

Thanks in advance!!
