Hello guys!

I faced the issue that my dashbaords and data views break

How I reproduce my issue:

1. Deployed Elastic and Kibana 8.13.3 and logged in under `elastic` superuser to Kibana
2. Added "Sample eCommerce orders" sample data set
3. Navigated to "Editing [eCommerce] Revenue Dashboard" dashboard
4. Everything works fine
5. Redeployed Kibana with anon access directives in my "kibana.yml" file:

```auto
xpack.security.authc.providers:
      basic.basic1:
        order: 1
      anonymous.anonymous1:
        order: 0
        credentials:
          username: anonymous_service_account
          password: anonymous_service_account_password

```

6. Logged in under `elastic` superuser (not `anon` user) to Kibana and navigated to "Editing [eCommerce] Revenue Dashboard" dashboard
7. Almost all visualizations are broken with error:  
` Could not locate field: <field_name> `  
for example:  
` Could not locate field: category.keyword `  
In the right corner there is the following error appears:

````auto
   TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'statusCode')
   at http://kibana.example.com/003e4a429463/bundles/plugin/dataViews/1.0.0/dataViews.plugin.js:1:42549
   at async data_views_service_public_DataViewsServicePublic.refreshFieldSpecMap (http://kibana.example.com/003e4a429463/bundles/plugin/dataViews/1.0.0/dataViews.plugin.js:1:31250)
   at async data_views_service_public_DataViewsServicePublic.initFromSavedObjectLoadFields (http://kibana.example.com/003e4a429463/bundles/plugin/dataViews/1.0.0/dataViews.plugin.js:1:32799)
   at async data_views_service_public_DataViewsServicePublic.initFromSavedObject (http://kibana.example.com/003e4a429463/bundles/plugin/dataViews/1.0.0/dataViews.plugin.js:1:33343)
   ```	

````

8. If I go to "Data Views \> Kibana Sample Data eCommerce" there are no fields and the same error as above appears

I tried to reload the problem pages with Developer Console (F12) to get some errors but did not find anything that differ from "initial state before I enabled anon access"

In Kibana logs with Debug I did not find "Cannot read properties of null" event

Kibana and Elastic are both 8.13.3 version

but none of them helped

The issue reproduces only if I launch it in Openshift  
No issue in Docker with the same configuration  
No issue in minikube with the same configuration

Did I miss something regarding setting anon access for Kibana in Openshift via Helm Charts (cannot use ECK unfortunately)?

Thank you!

Looks like an approach with Helm charts is indeed not supported anyhow further

I deployed Elastic and Kibana via ECK operator and it works fine on Openshift
