Export Dataview

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

When I export data view from Kibana through Saved Objects the fields are not getting exported.
When I import it I am not able to see the fields.

Does anyone know why its happening like this?
Kibana Version - 8.14.1

The fields are generated dynamically so the are not stored in the data view... Only a few attributes like time field ,field formats and runtime fields etc are actually stored in the data view..

What are you trying to accomplish....

You might need to refresh your browser to see the fields

Thank you
I was trying to add new field to an Index. For that thought of testing in lower environment by import and export from Prod. Your answer clears that doubt and cant do that.

Currently I have added the field to the Index Templated.The field is successfully added.

Now I have another question
When added new field through Kibana in the Index Template I opened Advanced Options in Mappings

after that extra fields (Highlighted in the Image) came in the Index Template after adding the fields.

If I remove those manually through Dev Console will it create an issue to the Index?

PUT _index_template/jee-development-filebeat
{
  {
  "template": {
    "mappings": {
      "properties": {
        "mdc.duration": {
          "type": "integer"
        },
        "mdc.price": {
          "coerce": true,
          "index": true,
          "ignore_malformed": false,
          "store": false,
          "scaling_factor": 99,
          "type": "scaled_float",
          "doc_values": true
        }
      }
    }
  },
