Hi,  
I am trying to review the results when creating a script filed.  
It is empty.  
Is it a bug or a feature?

# Kibana 7.3.2

Thanks!

That means that the scripted field returns no results in the last 10 documents. Can you post the scripted field and a doc example so that we can help you debug?

Hi Marius,  
Thanks for the reply.  
The issue is that I do see results in Kibana. Only missing results in the preview pane.  
Code --\>

```
long expiryDate = Long.parseLong(doc['expiry_date_epoch.keyword'].value);
long now = new Date().getTime();
long diff = expiryDate - now;
long days = (diff / (60*60*24*1000));
return days;

```

Here is the Kibana dashboard, showing results for all documents
