Hi All,

Is there any way in Kibana 4 to hide the \_source field from the detail view  
on the Discover table?  
As all fields are already shown in the detail view, the additional \_source  
field seems to increase the visual noise without adding any value.

Thanks in advance,  
Görge

There is not, if you want that it'd definitely be worth raising as a  
request on github though!

Thanks for the fast reply.  
I created [Hide \_source field from doc viewer detail view · Issue #3429 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3429).
