Hello,
On Kibana 6.8.14
Is it possible to rename a field to all visualizations already created with an old one?
Is it possible to rename a field and that all visualizations linked to it are updated?
Thanks !

There's no automated way to do so. Two things I can think of:
- Use the saved objects API to export your saved objects, change them in bulk using a script and import them again [Saved Objects API | Kibana Guide [6.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/saved-objects-api.html)
- Use an alias field instead of renaming - old visualizations will depend on the old field name, but in discover and for new visualizations, you can use the new one: [Alias datatype | Elasticsearch Reference [6.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/alias.html)

Great, thanks for the tips 🙂
