i have an index called "bobGoblin" ... "bobGoblin" has a field called bobTimestamp which shows as a date "type" in the "mapping" ... when i go to make a new index pattern for the bobGoblin index ... **The indices which match this index pattern don't contain any time fields.**... which is clearly not true b/c bobTimestamp is date and i've been using this for ages. only ran into this issue yesterday when trying to update the bobGoblin index pattern ... kibana version 7.9.1 what gives!!! ---

Hello @bacony0atmeal Could you record and post a har file of the problem? This way I can see which indexes match and the returned field list. ---
