I have self hosted the ELK stack and in that while adding a connector i can see that there is no option coming for "Define Time field for each document" as shown in kibana documentation.

Version : 8.7

Link for documentation : [Index connector and action | Kibana Guide [8.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.7/index-action-type.html)

SS for reference:

Below is the SS for adding a connector in using Kibana on my self hosted ELK Stack
