Whenever I use a filter, be it a dropdown or time filter on a column that is from a nested field no data, even data that match the filter, appears in data tables. Is there another way to do this that I'm not aware of? ---

Hi @Gvinfinity. Nested fields are not well-supported in Kibana and Canvas. There is an [open feature request for nested field support in Canvas](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/34607). ---
