Hi, I have created 12 scripted fields for one index pattern, but each index in those index patterns requires at a time less than 5 of the given 12 scripted fields. Is there any way i can limit the scripted fields which are being computed per search so that i can save the time which is spent in calculating the remaining scripted fields Thanks, Vivek ---

Hi there! I don't believe there is a way to disable scripted fields on a per-search basis. I think the best option for your use case would be to create a new index pattern for each set of scripted fields you want to use. ---
