+'@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend': patch
+---
+
+Add support for `fields` sub-selection of just parts of an entity when listing
+entities in the catalog backend.
+
+Example: `.../entities?fields=metadata.name,spec.type` will return partial
+entity objects with only those exact fields present and the rest cut out.
+Fields do not have to be simple scalars - you can for example do
+`fields=metadata`.
