Hi, I am trying to search a text field for a particular value and perform an operation on the result. E.g. say, the text field is Region with values DA, DP, DE, RA, RP, RE. The condition I require is "if Region is DA, then display name as AMER, if Region is DP, then display name as Pacific, if Region is DE..." so on. Any suggestions please. thank you ---

Hi @behappy_alwayz0401 welcome to the Kibana community. I think runtime field can be useful in this case: have a look at some [runtime field examples for more info](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/runtime-examples.html). ---
