Hi,

I have an issue in the **Default time stamp that is in first column** of saved index pattern, I know how to remove by using Advance Setting but it applies to all saved index patter (that is my problem) I only like to remove for one index pattern which I saved.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,  
Sudarsan

Hi @sudarsan.1687

Sorry, but it's not possible to change the default time stamp for an Index Pattern after it is created. You will have to create a new Index Pattern using the field you wish to be the default timestamp.
