Accessing new Issue Type and ProjectV2 Fields in REST API

Body

I’m trying to work with the new issue type field and the ProjectV2 fields, but I’m running into some obstacles.
As far as I can tell, these fields aren’t currently exposed through the REST API, and while I know they’re available via GraphQL, it seems like I can’t retrieve them for a specific issue without iterating through all issues in a project.
That feels a bit cumbersome, especially if we’re dealing with a large number of records.

I might be missing something—maybe there’s a way to do this that I’m not aware of. If that’s the case, I’d love some guidance. But if not, is this something on the roadmap for the REST API or the generated Kiota-based API client? Being able to filter and query based on a single issue would be incredibly helpful, and having these fields exposed on the REST side would streamline the process a lot.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
