Trying to create a scripted field

logic -  
if doc['field1'].value == doc['field2'].value then true else false

logic has been written compliant with painless scripting language  
no errors  
preview script panel shows first 10 values ..

when I click on "Create Field", then it just keeps spinning and never completes.  
I see 1 entry in the kibana log - a POST request corresponding to this to save the scripted field.

Is this a known issue ?

Regards,  
Aneesh

Hi @akatla,

> I see 1 entry in the kibana log - a POST request corresponding to this to save the scripted field.

Does it request return or hangs indefinitely?

What version of the stack you use and can you please enable verbose logging in Kibana (`logging.verbose: true`) and see if you can notice anything suspicious there?

Best,  
Oleg

Thanks foryour suggestions I figured out that. Kibana index was locked and so it wasn't letting any updates to indez patterns..

Thanks,
