With the latest release I'm noticing that the Kibana 'Discover' view now shows _all_ fields regardless if they have a value. This makes looking through documents extremely cumbersome, is there a legitimate reason why this was implemented?

Which version of Kibana are you running. There was an issue with Discover showing empty date fields, [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/69545](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/69545). this is resolved in 7.8.1

Currently running 7.8, appreciate you linking the issue. I attempted to search for something similar, but apparently didn't put in the correct keywords to find that issue. Do we have an approximate date of when 7.8.1 will be released?
