Hello,

ELK 7.10.0 / Kibana

Is there any way to change Kibana options Stack Managament / Advanced Settings / "dateFormat" + "dateFormat:tz" + etc. through an API?

I haven't found any info about that in the documentation

Thanks

You can use the saved objects api ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/saved-objects-api.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/saved-objects-api.html)) for this. Advanced settings are a saved object themselves (type `config`)
