Index Patterns - data types (range)

[diogopontual (Diogo Dauster Pontual)]

Hello,

I am writing a control to search over date_range fields (https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26341#issuecomment-456816140) and I saw that kibana doesn't recognize this data type. Is there any workaround?

Thank you

Hi Diogo, Kibana allows users to restrict searches by date via the time-picker in the top right corner. We're updating this to be more featureful and easier to use in https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/29204. Will this address your use case?

Hello @cjcenizal, thank you!!!

Actually I need to search over multiple date_range fields. I am working to solve this issue, but apparently the data_type is not known by kibana... The issue is: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26341.

Since I am learning a bit on kibana's internalsm I think that I will create some controls to handle date fields.

The validity field, on the image, is a date_range.

Thanks Diogo, you did the right thing by participating in that issue! You're engaging the right people there and that will be the right place for this discussion moving forward.
