Hi,

I am trying to export a csv from kibana discover. It successfully gives me all the data in the csv when the fields selected are indexed. For the fields which are not indexed (i.e. `enabled: false`), it fails to generate data inside it. It gives me an empty csv with just the column headers. Can someone please help me to figure out what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
