**Kibana version** : 7.6  
**Elasticsearch version** : 7.6  
**APM Server version** : 7.6  
**APM Agent language and version** : Node.JS 3.3.0  
**Original install method** : Elastic Cloud

We were advised to use Parameterised Message Objects when reporting errors due to quite a few errors having the same stacktrace ([Incorrect Error Grouping](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/incorrect-error-grouping/215939)). When using Parameterised Message Objects the stacktrace of the error is no longer reported & displayed in Elastic. Is it possible to still send the Stacktrace to elastic? - it is still useful for debugging as we have several sources of errors that require Parameterised Message Objects.

Appreciate we could add the stacktrace into the `custom` object however we were hoping to keep the logs in the same format as the logs where we are not using Parameterised Message Objects.

Thanks, Matthew
