Can the kibana markdown widget be used to show data from json objects retrived from Elasticsearch ? I have seen references to Mustache, but in kibana 6.0.0 I cannot get the syntax to work such that my data shows up in a markdown widget.

Do I need to enable a plugin or something?

Yes, it should be possible. Can you share the syntax you're trying to use?

I was doing:

Dataset : {{ datasetName\_ }}

I have a field in ES called datasetName\_

I'd presumed mustache syntax would work.

Is my syntax wrong ?

Any update on this ? Should I raise a bug ?
