Hi  
i just find the idea of csv import from csv directly in kibana is great.

i tried it with my datas that includes text fields and can't be put in visualise as it needs that the fileds Set fielddata=true on and i can't find it  
is it planned / something forgotten or i don't know how to read.

thanks for this nice feature

I feel like the issue you're referring to is [this one](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6769). Usually to circumvent this we use the `.raw` version of the field.
