I'll take a look
I wouldn't be surprised
OTOH funny. I've rarely built an ingest pipeline through the UI. I always do the code side because that's how I started and I like the simulation and some other things are super easy that way.

### What? The setting for field_access_pattern for ingest pipeline is not avail…able in the UI used for creating or editing Ingest Pipelines. Stack Mgt -> Ingest Pipeline -> Create / Edit This is a 9.2+ added capability. https://www.elastic.co/docs/manage-data/ingest/transform-enrich/ingest-pipelines#access-source-pattern ### Why? This is becoming increasingly important as more users onboard OTEL data with dotted field names they will need to be access the dotted field names. This setting should be available in the UI. ### Acceptance Criteria _No response_ ### Priority Important (workaround exists) ### Blocked By _No response_ ### Additional Context _No response_
