I have read the exact same question but the problem was automatically closed.

"When configuring an index pattern in Kibana, it's unable to fetch the field details of a particular index in Kibana, if I am using a predefined custom mapping when creating the index, and if i upload the data without predefined mapping it's working.

Index exists in elastic search and have set of fields.

I want to be able to create my own mapping with predefined data types for my object fields"

How do you know it's unable to fetch the field details?

- data types are unknown and no fields are visible for aggregations except te default ones \_id, \_source etc.

Are there errors in Kibana?

- no errors in Kibana

Are there errors in the Kibana log?  
-no errors in Kibana log

Was the data loaded with one of our products like Logstash or a Beat?

- No, the index and default mapping with PUT request via Kibana console and the data objects via script with 'curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST "https://domain\_endpoint/index\_name/\_bulk" --data-binary "@example.json"';

Hi Aleksandra

Could you share the predefined custom mapping you're using?

Many thx & Best,
