I have 3 files.
File 1 contains API and Container
File 2 contains Container and Server
File 3 contains Server
Here is the relation between API , Container and Server
And API can reside in multiple containers, multiple containers reside on a server.
I created individual dasboards on File 1, 2 and 3. When I select Container Name, File 3 does not show data as the filter column is missing and if I select server name, File 1 does not show data and if I select API Name, both File 2 and 3 dont show data.
If there any option that filter is applied only is the column is present.

There is, it's called `courier:ignoreFilterIfFieldNotInIndex` and you can enable it in the advanced settings under management: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html)
