Hello Team,  
I am using v8.14 of Kibana, and building tabular dashboard using VEGA-lite, however I want to use external Kibana controls for filtering option, however its not working. What changes are required in VEGA lite, so that timefilter of Kibana and Controls of Kibana gets applied to VEGA lite, and subsequently results are displayed

if we put these conditions under data, filter/control will get applied.

"%context%": true,  
"%timefield%": "@timestamp",
