Hi ,  
We are trying to create a scripted field as follows :  
doc['Timestamp'].date.hourOfDay  
The "Timestamp" is already in UTC format when we are ingesting the data.  
After the scripted field gets created , we applied it as a filter on the dashboard .  
But the fitlers dont work as expected and the values are skewed to accomodate for UTC conversion , which means another 6 hours is added .  
Eg : if I filter is to choose only the business hours and if I have 9 as the start and 18 as the end , it gets internally converted to 15 and 23 .

Thanks and Regards

Sounds like a bug. Could you report it as an issue on GitHub? Thanks!
