Hello,  
I am creating a scripted field in Kibana 7.0.0 and it came up this issue:  
"{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Illegal list shortcut value [date]."}}}]},"status":400}"  
My scripted field is doing "doc['data'].date.year".

What can I do?  
Thanks.

@Francisca_Lima

there were some changes to the date handling in painless in 7.0. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch//reference/current/breaking-changes-7.0.html#\_getdate\_and\_getdates\_removed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch//reference/current/breaking-changes-7.0.html#_getdate_and_getdates_removed) for details.

Instead of using the `getDate()` function with the `.date` notation, you would need to access it with `.value`, as is shown here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-examples.html#modules-scripting-painless-dates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-examples.html#modules-scripting-painless-dates)
