Hi @david89, The request field is a readonly preview based on the options selected in the TSVB view. Have you tried changing the option in the UI on the left? ---

The Inspector panel offers only a read-only experience for the query. There's a `Copy to clipboard` button on the top right corner of it to make it easier to replicate the query on the Kibana DevTools. ---

No, TSVB does not allow to manipulate the request directly. Vega is the only visualization editor that lets write directly ES requests, but all the visualization binding is manual. ---

@Marco_Liberati thank you, it seem we can not edit query in TSVB, doesn't it? Vega is a good option, but we are using a lot of TSVB dashboard, can not switch ---

Not directly, no. TSVB is a visual tool who builds the query automatically under the hood, so no option to customize it.
