I have JSON documents that I send through a lambda to Elasticsearch and these JSONs have certain fields nested that are flattened in the process, I can see that they are correctly showed in my Index Pattern, like this: ![fields](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/7/97654ada656d1a192699c32bb9c04b24a11016de.jpeg) But when I go to discover, the only field that is correctly showing is the one that ES mapped as a date field: ![empty_fields](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/7/07319de323429df9dd5f11cd7a43eb2d98ca01c3.jpeg) I have already checked that the documents that I sent to ES through the lambda have values inside these fields. But these fields don't appear in Discover, like the image above and when I expand a single document, I can't see these fields too (even when I uncheck "hide missing fields"). Thanks in advance for any suggestion. ---

Any help? I would really appreciate any ideas. Thank you all! ---

It looks like you've added the "keyword" version of the fields in Discover, when what you really need is the non-keyword version added in the columns. This is because the table in Discover currently only shows what actually ended up in the `_source` of the document in Elasticsearch. ---
