Hello I am trying to get a nested field from JSON to display as a field on it's own. So as it is shown below I would like the rosapi\_app\_name to be a field on it's own. (fyi inner\_hits was a field from a DSL query search and I included it in \_source through metaFields settings) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/0/091cacfeba3f17cb1e2cb5a871affd6185e5f30d.png) ---

Are you loading this data with Logstash? If so, you should probably ask your question in that channel. ---

No the `inner_hits` field is a result of a parent-child join query run in Kibana. Just to clarify a little more: the `inner_hits` field originally was outside `_source` but I included it in the document by setting it in `metaFields`. I basically want that rosapi\_app\_name inside `_source` so that it shows up on the left panel with all the other fields and eventually use it in my data visualizations. ---
