Test couple times, export file doesn't include Scripted field (correct me if I am wrong)

If there anybody have the same question, I recommend elasticsearch snapshot/restore are much better to backup Kibana settings

It does export scripted fields.

What version are you on?

Then yeah, it should definitely do this. I tested this out the other day and the script was in the export.json.
