Hi,

I currently have kibana 7.8 and am trying to add Metrics to the Heat Map in Kibana's mapping visualization. However, unlike other map layers the Heat Map 'Metrics' section has no button to add a metric. How do I correct this so that I can add metrics to the heat map?

Thanks in advance!

hi @john9570, first of all, welcome to the Elastic community

This looks like a bug. I've tested it both in 7.8 and in the development code branch and I could reproduce it. I've [reported it](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/70399) to our ticket system, feel free to follow up there or subscribe to get updates.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@john9570 just a heads up that the issue has been already [fixed](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/70606) and will be released with upcoming `7.8.1`. I can't specify an exact release date, but it should be soon.
