@avivc if I understand correctly from the previous thread, you're writing a custom visualization and you'd like to hide the Custom Label Texbox so the user can't provide anything. Is this correct? ---

Tnx @Brandon_Kobel for the input ! Not exactly. Just want to use the custom label to eliminate default text. I'm trying to understand if there's a way to insert empty character to override to unnecessary text E.g. - the input is `ScrumTeam: Project._refObjectName.keyword: Descending` I want it to be: `ScrumTeam:` I hope the above is more clear to understand 🙂 ---

@avivc would you be able to attach a screenshot of the visualization highlighting the text that you'd like to hide? ---

This is the default value. I want to eliminate `Project._refObjectName.keyword: Descending` from the bucket title ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/97deee8a2c948a9a9f6ad54917bf71fe394414ed.png) Im addind ':' to Custom Label text box as you can see. It create colons duplicity ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/483adc4596274d303f6de8ee0290dea2f1c1bc6d.png) I want more elegant solution for this issue Any idea? ---

@avivc at this time, there really isn't a clean way to customize that, it might be worth filing an [Enhancement Request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new) in our GitHub repo. Now, the ugly work around... If you copy the characters between the quotes " ­ " and paste it into the 'Custom Label' textbox, it should show up blank. It's using the character with Unicode U+00AD to display something that looks like nothing to the user. ---

Though ugly... but gives me a solution for now ! I'll see if more people are interesting in this feature and comment here. If so, I'll fill a request Tnx 👍 ---
