Hi,  
I'm trying to create a table that contains data from fields that are allocated in different index patterns. Whenever I try to drag and drop a field that belongs to a different index, the table resets and only show the data from the field that belongs to this new index.  
Is there a simple way to do this?  
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to our community! 😃

Do the indices have the same sort of data structures, or are they totally different?

Hi, Warkolm!  
Thanks for the reply. The indices have the same structure. Do you know how I can solve this problem?  
Thanks in advance

You can try adding an alias across both indices and then use that as your index pattern.
