Hi , I have to parameterize visualization in kibana in such a way that i frame pass its value back to visualization. I am new kibana user, in other bi application it is very standard practice , I am not sure is it possible in kibana or not ? Thanks, Adnan ---

Have you tried scripted fields ? Scripted fields compute data on the fly from the data in your Elasticsearch indices. Scripted field data is shown on the Discover tab as part of the document data, and you can use scripted fields in your visualizations/dashboards. For more reference, please read here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html) Thanks Rashmi ---
