DevOps Excel integration does not update custom fields

Hi,

I recently started using Azure DevOps and the integration it has with Excel, where you can create a query in DevOps and import the filtered Work Items to Excel.
In Excel, under the Team tab, there is a Refresh button that lets you refresh the data for all columns.

The problem is that all custom fields are ignored in this update. So for all our very important fields that we've created to suit our development needs, these are completely ignored in the refreshing.

A "workaround" is to create a new list every single time, but this is very cumbersome and not at all how it should be done.

Is there a plan to fix the bug where custom fields are not updated on "Refresh"?
