Hi,

I am trying to add an on-click signal to add a filter when clicked on each sector of a pie-chart using Vega. Even though the filter is added, it is not affected on the chart and shows an error within the filter.

 ![Issue_Image_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/4/e4da70a0be7a6ad7e04394f725afe3975aee20a7.png)

The fields of the index I'm using for the visualization are not seem to be included, as the error says **Disabled Field machine.os.keyword not found in index pattern apache** \*. But, _apache_\* is not the index I'm using for the pie-chart although it is an index I created earlier in Elasticsearch and the default index I get when opening Kibana Discover.

However, I can add the same filter manually as a Kibana search query and it will work fine.

 ![Issue_Image_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/5/f57c2ac1b5070c8ebbbea5eb5a5e18f063fbc5a6.png)

Why are the fields from the index I'm using are not available in filters? As an alternative, is it possible to add a query in the search bar using an on-click signal?

I'm using Elastic v 7.9.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi @ege, welcome to the community ❤

This should be fixed in upcoming 7.11 release by this pr: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/84090](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/84090)

As a workaround until then you could try to change your default index pattern to the one you are using in Vega viz.
