Hi ES Team,

I found a bug (looks like a bug) which occurs to Kibana version 7.3.1 (not tested in other versions)

Here is what I did:

- add a Scripted Field
- Name: This is a test
- painless
- string
- string

Script:  
if (!doc.containsKey('Status.keyword') || doc['Status.keyword'].empty) { return "unavailable" } else { return doc['Status.keyword'].value }

Save...

If I now try to edit my new field, this error message comes up:

'my\_index' index pattern doesn't have a scripted field called 'This%20is%20a%20test'

If it is already acknowledged please ignore, if not please check 🙂

Thanks and regards  
Thorben

I tested this on 7.6.2 and was not able to reproduce and I was unable to find any related ticket. Though, I have not heard of this issue, it's possible it was fixed in an unrelated PR.
