SubsciptionId missing when querying `az account list` in table format

[daviewales]

Describe the bug

I am trying to query the names and IDs of my Azure subscriptions. The following commands do exactly what I want with JSON or TSV output:

$ az account list --query "[].{name: name, id: id}"           # works
[
  {
    "id": "abc123",
    "name": "Example"
  }
]
$ az account list --query "[].{name: name, id: id}" -o tsv    # works
Example       abc123

However, if I switch to table output, I only get the name field:

$ az account list --query "[].{name: name, id: id}" -o table  # does not show subscription id
Name
-----------------
Example

I thought that perhaps the table output doesn't support the subscription ID field, so I tried the same as above, but without the --query. However, this does include the subscription ID:

$ az account list -o table
Name               CloudName    SubscriptionId                        TenantId                              State    IsDefault
-----------------  -----------  ------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  -------  -----------
Example            AzureCloud   abc123                                xyz987                                Enabled  True

It would be nice to be able to use -o table output with --query, and get the same data that is included in the other output formats.

Expected behavior

I expected the -o table output to include the selected fields, the same as -o tsv.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Please note that the attribute names obtained using -o json and -o table are inconsistent.

Please try using az account list --query "[].{Name: name, SubscriptionId: id}" -o table instead.

(env) PS C:\Users\zhoxing.FAREAST\Desktop\project> az account list --query "[].{Name: name, SubscriptionId: id}" -o table
Name                                              SubscriptionId

That works, but it seems a bit strange that the names would be different. The query is a JMESPath query, which is defined in terms of JSON, so it's confusing that you can't use the names from the JSON output.
