In my current version of Kibana(6.6.0), the '+' '-' widgets above the color option on visualizations are not available, making it harder to add filters.

Is there a fix around this?

It does that if that field is used in a filter on the dashboard. Make the selection in the filter, rather than on the visualization.

In this case, we haven't used it as a filter on the dashboard and still those +,- widgets don't show up.

Maybe a filter saved on the visualization before it's added to the dashboard?
