I wonder if someone can suggest a way to get around an annoying characteristic of DATA TABLE visualizations.

I am reporting some SIBLING PIPELINE AGGREGATIONS in my tables - averages, maxes and mins. I am hoping to establish clear, tight tables by assigning a concise CUSTOM LABEL to each column. But my concise labels are being pre-pended with extra words!

For example, I want to show the column heading "Avg" over a column of averages, but Kibana insists on displaying the column with the header "Overall Average of Avg".

Is there a way to override this behavior and customize my column headings?

Many thanks.

Hello,

There is no way to change it right now, Feel free to open an enhancement request in the Kibana repo.
