Have a look at this answer here with a semi-full Vega configuration: [Gantt chart on Kibana using version 7.11 - #4 by Marco\_Liberati](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/gantt-chart-on-kibana-using-version-7-11/265917/4)

In the `y` encoding you might use always the same value (so either a field with a static value, or a static string) to have a single "swimlane":

```auto
encoding: {
    y: {
      field: _source.Date // <== change this in the linked configuration
      type: nominal
    }
...

```
