Get-GSGroup Fields parameter cannot be found about psgsuite

deployed!

Also worth noting that the speed difference between specifying a single field vs having it return all fields is negligible, sometimes even taking longer to return a group with a single field vs just returning all fields:

You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for such a quick response, and for making a fantastic PS module!

[scrthq]

@WToorenburghEasyMarkit thanks for the catch!! I'm on it!! Should 100% be supported so let me make sure that can happen (or figure out barriers at the very least!)

[scrthq]

@WToorenburghEasyMarkit - alright did some digging and found some oddness. The List() request for Groups in the .NET SDK does have a Fields property, but any attempt to use it after applying the fix returns an invalid field error. Checking on the actual API explorer and it doesn't look like their List method allows specification of Fields like the Get method does

That being said, pushing up a fix in v2.8.1 that blocks use of Fields unless specifying a Group as well via parameter set inclusion to prevent further confusing errors, since Google doesn't appear to support it currently with the List method for Groups

Also worth noting: Fields for Google's API's are always mixed camel case, with the first letter always lower case. So your call would need to look something like this otherwise you'll get similar errors (additional corrections on field names):

$Fields = @("nonEditableAliases", "description", "email", "kind", "name", "directMembersCount")
$Groups = Get-GSGroup -Group mytestgroup -Fields $Fields

I'm glad you like it! Thanks again for submitting the issue to let me know about the bug!
