Register FieldFormat plugin in v. 7.6.2

[Elaak (Hans)]

This is basically the same question as this post:

Field Formatter registration Kibana 7.6.2

Hi, I attempted to register my plugin using this: [image] Here is how I used it: [image] But I get this error: [image] I changed the code to this (passing an array with my field formatter): [image] However the page to edit field types comes up blank on kibana [image] Can someone provide some insight as to what I can do to register my field formatter plugin?

But this one does not have a solution, at the very least the last post does not solve my issue. Although I believe there are typos in the last post also.

I am trying to upgrade my field format plugin to Elastic stack 7.6.2.

Since I have not grasped the new way to create plugins using Typescript, I tried to use the legacy implementation.

With the following code the field formatter is registered, but when I try to activate it for one field, I get an empty page similar to what is listed at the end of the first post here: Field Formatter registration Kibana 7.6.2

    export default function (kibana) {

          fieldFormats: [

          injectDefaultVars(server) {
            const config = server.config();

              truncatedLength: config.get('truncatedstringdialog.maxlength')
