JIRA Filters list of fields

Question

I am using the JIRA Python API.

I cannot find a way to figure out the list of fields associated with the filter (which I can see in the JIRA UI ).

I understand that I can use .search and manually specify the fields to retrieve, but I do not want to hard code my python code. I would like to pull the fields which are set up with the filter.

So net-net:

1. Why doesn't my jira.search_issues with the filter id simply return the fields set up for the filter

2. If it cannot do (1) above, how do I retrieve the list of fields being returned by my filter in the JIRA UI and then use it with (1), without hard coding it in my code

Thanks,

Asif

I'm looking for the filter settings for the filter essentially all the fields - custom and non-custom which I see in the JIRA UI
