Results not loading in Wiql Playground when selecting certain columns in query

[bart029]

Describe the bug We are getting a "Loading Workitems..." message with no results returned when we attempt to execute a query where we select the following columns:

• System.Id
• Custom.TargetCompletionDatee

Environment:

• Browser = Chrome and Firefox
• hosted (Azure Devops)
• Installed version: 2.1.69 (Latest)

Screenshots

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Wiql playground
2. Enter the following query:
3. SELECT [System.Id], [System.AssignedTo], [System.State], [System.Title], [System.Tags], [System.WorkItemType]

FROM workitems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project AND [System.AreaPath] UNDER 'CSG-Wk-Mgmt\RMDM\Singleview' AND [System.WorkItemType] = 'Bug' AND [System.ChangedDate] > @today - 2 ORDER BY [System.ChangedDate] DESC

4. Click Run.
5. The "Loading workitems..." message appears and stays there. No results are returned.
6. Remove the [System.AssignedTo] line from the SELECT statement and click Run.
7. Results are now returned as expected

Expected behavior Query should return results with any valid fields in the SELECT statement.

Additional context Clicking on the "Open in queries" button to execute the query in ADO results in a successful query.

Hi, I just tested it and it works as expected. Please make sure you have the correct syntax: (AND [System.AreaPath] UNDER ['CSG-Wk-Mgmt\RMDM\Singleview').

I'm still having the issue and the syntax appears to be correct. As you can see in the screenshot, when I remove line 3 ([System.AssignedTo],) from my query, it runs properly:

Adding that line back in causes the query to not run and leaves me with the "Loading workitems..." message:

[AminTi]

I think you have an error in this line it works for me check that you have the correct areaPAth

[bart029]

The area path is correct because the query runs properly when line 3 is deleted. We have other queries that fail whenever we attempt to put [System.AssignedTo] in our SELECT statement.

[bart029]

Different area path, same results. First picture is with [System.AssignedTo] included in the Select statement:

Second picture is the exact same query with [System.AssignedTo] removed:

[AminTi]

 Thanks for reporting, we'll dig into this again

[AminTi]

I need the network logs and the console output to help you. When I try the query, it works as expected for me. Please provide these details so I can assist you better.

Here is the console output when I click the RUN button:

Here is an example of the response for one of the items returned. It looks like the System.AssignedTo field is returning a dictionary instead of a single item. We are also noticing the same behavior when trying return System.CreatedBy and System.ChangedBy. They have the same response format as System.AssignedTo.
