Hi, I was making a line graph and wants to add filter in that. I observed that some of the field values are not showing up in dropdown menu when we select them(screenshot attached), while some does.These fields were added in new documents indexed. Both types of fields are aggregatable.  
I am using kibana version 6.6.0.

It does take a while until the fields get updated in the values. You can try and refresh the index in the Advanced Settings menu.

Did that but it doesn't help. Also this happen only to those fields which were added later (like shown in 2 images).
