Hello Folks,

I'm looking for a way to update the Elastic index field data through Kibana console through discover,

I was able to pull the data and display it as a table but I don't see a way to update it and ES index. Please let mw know if there is a way to do this from Kibana console

Hi  
You can't update fields of a document in Discover, you would need to go to DevTools / Console to do it like that:
