Hello,  
I used to be able to add the grouped by field in the subject line under  
{{context.group}}. Did something change?

Is there another field I can use?

Kibana/ES: 8.16.1

Hi @erikg,

Are you referring to the email connector for the Elasticsearch query rule as covered [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/rule-type-es-query.html) in the documentation? It would be good for you to confirm via a screenshot or more detail.

Let us know!

Hello @carly.richmond  
Yes, I am using ES Query rule with email. I found that {{context.group}} didn't work in the subject line.

Here's a picture of the rule:

After so much trial and error, the one that ended up working for me was {{alert.id}} (this shows the grouped over terms)
