 Hey all,

 I have just tested this one today in the latest release, and specifically
 I tested the code that @lucasbustamante submitted last, and this appears
 to be working in the suggested way now.
 So as before:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $admins = get_users([
     'role' => 'administrator',
     'fields' => [
         'user_email'
     ],
 ]);
 // Returns
 array [
     0 => object(stdClass) [
         'user_email' => string 'test at wordpress.com',
     ],
 ];
 // accessible via $admins[0]->user_email
 }}}
 However now without passing an array to fields you get just the requested
 field returned in an array, which is what I believe we were originally
 after:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $admins = get_users([
     'role' => 'administrator',
     'fields' => 'user_email',
 ]);
 // Returns
 array [
   0 => string 'callum.bridgford-whittick at wpengine.com'
 ]
 }}}
 As this issue seems to be solved in the current state of WordPress, I
 believe this ticket can be closed, and as of such I have attached the
 `close` tag.
