Is it possible to increase the number of Kibana Scripted fields from 32 to 64 for example?

I am running ES/Kibana 6.5

Is there a limit you're seeing somewhere? It shouldn't be limited as far as I know.  
But I really don't recommend using 60 as each scripted field will be calculated for each query every single time in Elasticsearch, for each document. That can easily kill your node.
