I tested this one and it looks like you can pass an array of strings for the field names:

const result = await this.certificatesRepository.create(
certificate,
  {
    fields: [ "a", "b", "c" ]
  }
);

The loopback-style syntax would require the "fields" to be remapped here:

loopback-next/extensions/sequelize/src/sequelize/sequelize.repository.base.ts

Lines 170 to 176 in 56201c5

	async create(entity: DataObject<T>, options?: AnyObject): Promise<T> {
	const data = await this.sequelizeModel.create(
	entity as MakeNullishOptional<T>,
	options,
	);
	return new this.entityClass(data.toJSON()) as T;
	}

For example (note that the existing buildSequelizeAttributeFilter has a Typescript interface conflict with the create parameters):

  async create(entity: DataObject<T>, options?: AnyObject): Promise<T> {
    const data = await this.sequelizeModel.create(
      entity as MakeNullishOptional<T>,
      {
        ...options,
        fields: this.buildSequelizeAttributeFilter(options?.fields),
      },
    );
    return new this.entityClass(data.toJSON()) as T;
  }

I believe that fields is a preserved word for the option and it's of type array. You may try to use another word instead of fields.
