Is it possible to change the header name of the `filters` which displays after creating a `data table` or show a customized content rather than showing the whole query in the table?

Snapshot of how the `data table` looks like:

Hi Kulasangar,

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,  
CJ

Hey Kulasangar, I just found out that you can add a custom label for the Filters agg by clicking a little tag button to make the "Custom Label" field show up:
