Hi all, I've seen for some fields, Normal String field displays as list in data table or document table in kibana. Even though the field is mapped as plain string, it is shown as list in data table (when taken as top hit) & document table as well. Is this a bug or can we correct it? ---

@Sandeep_Raju can you please provide more details? Which is the mapping of your field? Give us some examples of the values it contains and how it is displayed on kibana. ---

Hi @Stratoula_Kalafateli , The field is visible as below in discover: ![Screenshot 2022-06-14 at 3.11.57 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/a/aad8d5f8cc236592aa3c96fb807f79c5a980a1e4.png) But the same field is displayed as list form in visualization table as below: ![Screenshot 2022-06-14 at 3.45.29 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/0/f09a604ef82c6db02d4b62e3512eae90189a6a28.png) thereby repeating the same value again. Is this a bug that it shows differently in discover & visualization? ---

I cant be sure tbh. Which is the field mapping? Run this on the Dev Tools ```auto GET /_mapping ``` and send me the mapping of the field and ```auto GET /_search ``` and send me some sample values of this field ---

The mapping is **string(keyword)** But I think This is some formatting issue. ---
