Hi, I am following this tutorial [Parent ID query | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-parent-id-query.html) After creating an index and inserting documents, the search is working fine both in my local and dev server. But when I am creating an index pattern and going to search in kibana (analytics-\> discovery), in local it's working fine, but in dev server, it's giving error - **unsupported\_operation\_exception: Cannot fetch values for internal field [parent].** The only difference I can figure out is in index patterns, that the parent field is showing a type of **parent** in my local, but in dev, it's showing as **unknown** type. Local- ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/3/937479d106a08187701e9b711de84ad5fb3392a4.png) Dev server- ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/c/8cbc16128ce0cfa1b76f92859e692925a23dd630.png) Can anyone explain to me, what am I doing wrong? ---

No idea. May be check both mappings and compare them. If they are identical and you are using the same exact version of the stack, I'd move the question to #elastic-stack:kibana . Also please be patient in waiting for responses to your question and refrain from pinging multiple times asking for a response or opening multiple topics for the same question. This is a community forum, it may take time for someone to reply to your question. For more information please refer to the [Community Code of Conduct](https://www.elastic.co/community/codeofconduct) specifically the section "Be patient". Also, please refrain from pinging folks directly, this is a forum and anyone that participates might be able to assist you. If you are in need of a service with an SLA that covers response times for questions then you may want to consider talking to us about a [subscription](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions). It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer. ---
