How to get alternate values from Field getData() and getMoreData()?

Hello,

I am using the Field functions getData() and getMoreData() in an extension to retrieve all the values present in a field. The API returns all the values, but their qState is only either 'S' or 'X'. The alternatve values appear with qState 'X', not 'A' as I would have expected.

How do I set things up so that alternative values are properly indicated in the response from getMoreData()?

If I create a list for the field with createList() and set qShowAlternatives to 'true', the values are returned with qState set properly. I would like to use getMoreData() instead of managing the list myself, but can't figure out how to make it recognize the show alternative flag.
