I have set up my Index template in elastic and the transaction\_date column is carrying the format as 'yyyyMMDD' but when I try to add the filter on that filter by click on the plus icon next to the column name it throws the below error.

failed to create query: failed to parse date field [2021-02-04T00:00:00.000Z] with format [yyyyMMdd]: [failed to parse date field [2021-02-04T00:00:00.000Z] with format [yyyyMMdd]]

Hi @gbandasha,

thank you for sharing the issue! It looks like a bug to me. I've created the issue [Filters should apply the original date from `_source` instead of the formatted one · Issue #93401 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/93401) so our team can look at it and try to solve it.

Please, feel free to follow it for more updates on the progress and if any questions arise.
