Hi when trying to write scripted field in kibana i've got an error that says :

`Scripting disabled: All inline scripting has been disabled in Elasticsearch. You must enable inline scripting for at least one language in order to use scripted fields in Kibana`

i need to use the default painless language what changes should i make in elasticsearch.yml file

thank you!

What version of ES and Kibana are you running?

This message is not from Elasticsearch. I suggest asking in the kibana forums.
