Hi all:

I cannot figure out how to apply a custom header name to my aggregate column. Currently, it reads "filters." I can't find a prescription in the docs. Any tips?

Thanks,

HI Christopher

Thanks for posting about this! Unfortunately, you can't specify a custom label for a Filters agg in a Data Table. Seems a little weird since you can do that for all of the other agg types. I've created an issue to track this enhancement: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8817](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8817) . Please watch it for progress on this.

Thanks,  
Rashmi

Hi @rashmi! Thanks for getting back. I'm not sure that the linked issue was the intended issue? That one seems to be about the filter label button, vs table column name.

Thanks!
