hey @nickpeihl  
thank you for the above!

I gave this a try with using **{{rawValue}}** but it is now not showing up with anything.  
But when using the **{{value}}** the data is displayed again but coming up with the drill-down, it displays the same error.

Have been thinking about and using "Scripted Fields", so may give that a go 🤔.

Also, looking at this post about [hyperlinking](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/hyperlink-field-combining-multiple-fields-in-query-string/138681/6)?
