I have a few maps in the ingested data into elasticsearch that would cause a field explosion due to the amount of possible fields, I have used dynamic: false on these maps to not have them indexed, only in the \_source.
Removing these maps from the documents is not desired because data analysts want the data available even if it is not searchable.
The question is... is there any way to remove (ie not display) the non-indexed fields from the discover field list? They heavily pollute the field list and make things harder to find due to sheer number of fields in the list.
