Hello,

I coming back on this subject since the last topic was automatically [closed](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/copy-paste-from-kibana-without-row-and-column-information-2/334026). There is still issues when copy/pasting the Discover's output.

In the following example, there is 3 columns (@timestamp, host, report\_desc). When copying the first 3 lines (see screenshot attached) I have the following output (ELK is 8.12.2):

 ![copy_paste_elk_8.12.2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/f/df1fddce008d2fd5c6ff21f4b7f4dd3249f74d2d.png)

```auto
2016-10-05 07:48:23.000
- @timestamp, column 3, row 1

samples
[evtx/powershell/600] provider 'WSMan' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''

2016-10-05 07:48:23.000
samples
[evtx/powershell/600] provider 'Function' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''

2016-10-05 07:48:23.000
samples
[evtx/powershell/600] provider 'Certificate' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''

```

While the expected output is:

```auto
2016-10-05 07:48:23.000 samples [evtx/powershell/600] provider 'WSMan' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''
2016-10-05 07:48:23.000 samples [evtx/powershell/600] provider 'Function' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''
2016-10-05 07:48:23.000 samples [evtx/powershell/600] provider 'Certificate' new state is 'Started', ps_host_name: 'ConsoleHost', cmd:''', cmd_path:'', script_name:'', host_application:''

```

We are currently working around this issue by turning on the legacy's doc\_table: `doc_table:legacy`.

Could it be possible to patch it ?

Thanks in advance.
