Hi!

I am using Kibana 7.0.1 and I want to make an Histogram with 4 "Split series" sub-buckets.  
When I am trying to add the 4th sub-bucket I have as option only "Split chart".  
Is that somehow possible?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,  
This an intentional limitation put in place by the dev team as the number of buckets would get too large (putting the ES cluster at risk as well ) and make the chart unreadable.  
For now, in 7.5+ you can use more split series with Lens, but I have the same warning, the chart will become unreadable.
