```auto
"exists":{
          "field":"chain_location"
        }

```

The drop down filter does not return field that has mapping of 'geopoint' type.

How to filter with the field exist in the visualization?

Thanks.

If you want to search on an exact location you'd have to break out the latitude and longitude. You can create a scripted field to do this.
