I am seeing these fields with warning tags but I am not getting these fields while using **index\_name/\_mapping**.

Also, these fields are not searchable in the discover panel.

Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Which version of the stack are you using? 7.10 was the last version that cached the fields definitions ([PR](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/82223))

I've tested the following with 7.15:

```auto
# Create an index with some docs
DELETE test_warning_fields

PUT test_warning_fields
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "field1": { "type": "text"},
      "field2": { "type": "text"},
      "field3": { "type": "text"},
      "field4": { "type": "text"}
    }
  }
}

POST test_warning_fields/_bulk
{ "index" : { "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "2" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "4" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "5" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "6" } }
{ "field1" : "value1", "field2" : "value1","field3" : "value1","field4" : "value1"}

# Create the index pattern
# Check in Discover, all OK

```

Then I regenerated the index with different fields to try to break Kibana:

```auto
# Regenerate the index with other fields
DELETE test_warning_fields

PUT test_warning_fields
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "field5": { "type": "text"},
      "field6": { "type": "text"},
      "field7": { "type": "text"},
      "field8": { "type": "text"}
    }
  }
}

POST test_warning_fields/_bulk
{ "index" : { "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "2" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "4" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "5" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}
{ "index" : { "_id" : "6" } }
{ "field5" : "value5", "field6" : "value1","field7" : "value1","field8" : "value1"}

```

But the index pattern and discover reflected the new schema

Hope it helps!

What version are you on

If you're on an older version a simple refresh in the browser won't pull the new index pattern definitions into discover You will need to do a shift refresh or full hard refresh / reload of the page.

This behavior has changed in recent releases but highly recommend upgrading if you're on an older version.

Assuming as you said you wen to the Index Pattern Refreshed it, saw that those fields now exist in the index pattern.

Then test by opening Discover in a new incognito window, or make sure you do a full hard refresh of the Discover page, this is a know issue on older versions

It is because of null data fields when I send data with these fields and again refreshed it, it works perfectly fine.
