This is a Kibana related questions so you should post this question in the appropriate forum. Regarding the meaning of the message:
Kibana has a discovery function that tries to discover which fields are present in your collections. To do so it analyzes the first results and checks the fields that are present or missing in the top documents. One field in your mapping is not present in the first documents that show up in the discovery tab so it appears as a missing field. I don't think it causes any problem since as the message says you can still visualize or search on it.
