Kibana4: Color formatter for Strings?

[MarcelHallmann]

Hi all,

acording to https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/4cce8e878fe0f2aa7a59ea2000d9bdb018384297/docs/color-formatter.asciidoc the color formatter only works for numbers, but not for strings.

When will the feature be implemented to color string fields?

Regards

There's an open ticket for this on our Github repo which you can track, but no one has picked it up so far so there's no target release date. Community contributions are always welcome! https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6537

I think I found a solution for this problem and created a pull request:
