When sometimes some fields are not there there is a red cross icon saying: "Fields a.b.c, d.e.f were not found." Can we disable this message?  
I found some blogs referring to "Hide missing fields" option but I was not able to find it.  
I use elasticsearch:8.11.0

Hi @jeromeguillaume,

Would `Ignore filter(s)` be close to what you are looking for?

I found this by going to Stack mangement in Kibana and going to advanced settings.

Best,  
Jessica

I am looking for the "Hide missing fields" but I can't find it.

We are aware of the problem, in particular for dynamic mapping contexts, and tracking the issue here: [[Lens] hide missing fields errors until the data view has some fields · Issue #151526 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/151526)
