I have created a scripted field converting seconds into a human readable duration.

When I display it on a simple metric graph it is human readable :

When I want to use "Split Group" to split by a certain term, the metrics are then in seconds, therefore not human readable:

Could you please assist on this unexpected behavior?

Thanks,

Camille (using Kibana 5.6.4)

Hello,

This issue was fixed in 5.6.5 actually, so you just missed the fix by one minor version.
