Is there a way to change the text in the "Time filter" element? I am trying to show data from yesterday, and the text it returns leaves some work for the viewer to do in their head.

It says "~ a day ago to ~ 11 hours ago" when I'd like it to say "Yesterday" or simply "July 14, 2019".

Hi @gose,

Unfortunately there is not a supported way to edit the Time filter text right now.

This issue is being tracked here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/33867](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/33867)
