[Not sure if bug] Admin plugin does not use the Infering Types

As title says Using the create user 
const newUser = await authClient.admin.createUser({
  name: "Test User",
  password: "password123",
  role: "user"
});
const newUser = await authClient.admin.createUser({
  name: "Test User",
  password: "password123",
  role: "user"
});
Does not adhere to any custom fields made in auth.ts I've added 
  additionalFields: {
            firstName: {
                type: "string",
                required: true,
            },
            lastName: {
                type: "string",
                required: true,
            },``
  additionalFields: {
            firstName: {
                type: "string",
                required: true,
            },
            lastName: {
                type: "string",
                required: true,
            },``
The only fields it seems to take into consideration is the pre-defined fields that are found in the docs 
name: "Test User",
  password: "password123",
  role: "user"
name: "Test User",
  password: "password123",
  role: "user"
eg: 
id: "0_XCvVtlUk4bLELI_mCQ-",
  name: "undefined undefined",
  emailVerified: false,
  image: undefined,
  createdAt: new Date("2024-11-01T20:41:18.890Z"),
  updatedAt: new Date("2024-11-01T20:41:18.890Z"),
  role: "user",
  banned: undefined,
  banReason: undefined,
  banExpires: undefined,
  lastName: undefined,
  street: undefined,
  zip: undefined,
  city: undefined,
  country: undefined,
  phoneNumber: undefined,
  lang: undefined,
id: "0_XCvVtlUk4bLELI_mCQ-",
  name: "undefined undefined",
  emailVerified: false,
  image: undefined,
  createdAt: new Date("2024-11-01T20:41:18.890Z"),
  updatedAt: new Date("2024-11-01T20:41:18.890Z"),
  role: "user",
  banned: undefined,
  banReason: undefined,
  banExpires: undefined,
  lastName: undefined,
  street: undefined,
  zip: undefined,
  city: undefined,
  country: undefined,
  phoneNumber: undefined,
  lang: undefined,
All fields are undefined, but they are parsed to the function correctly.

I also encountered this issue. It doesn't fill them up I figured you need the data key to fill up the remaining fields. 
await authClient.admin.createUser({
          name: "Admin for Testing",
          password: "password1234",
          role: "admin",
          data: {
            username: "admin",
          },
await authClient.admin.createUser({
          name: "Admin for Testing",
          password: "password1234",
          role: "admin",
          data: {
            username: "admin",
          },

Interesting. I assume this is for the username plugin. Should be added to docs!:-)

It's not just for the username plugin. It also works for additionalFields. I agree it should be on the docs though.

That solves alot of issues for me - In using the same endpoint as sign up for normal users in my admin area to work around this - so your findings fix that. Because i auto sign in users after creation, an admin would be signed in as the newly created user🤯
