Hi,

I've just started experimenting with Graphs in Kibana and I'm only seeing a subset of the fields in my documents available to select for the graph.

When I click on the add fields, I see 9 fields in the "Add Fields" selector:

I have 28 fields defined in the document

```auto
{
  "properties": {
    "licence": {
      "type": "keyword"
    },
    "externalUri": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "visibility": {
      "type": "keyword"
    },
    "author": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "id": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "username": {
          "type": "keyword"
        }
      }
    },
    "title": {
      "type": "search_as_you_type"
    },
    "type": {
      "type": "keyword"
    },
    "content": {
      "type": "search_as_you_type"
    },
    "tags": {
      "type": "nested",
      "properties": {
        "familyRaw": {
          "type": "search_as_you_type"
        },
        "createdAt": {
          "format": "epoch_millis",
          "type": "date"
        },
        "author": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "id": {
              "type": "keyword"
            },
            "username": {
              "type": "keyword"
            }
          }
        },
        "name": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "icon": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "iconColor": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "id": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "family": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "nameRaw": {
          "type": "search_as_you_type"
        },
        "usageType": {
          "type": "text"
        },
        "group": {
          "type": "keyword"
        }
      }
    },
    "createdAt": {
      "format": "epoch_millis",
      "type": "date"
    },
    "library": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "meta": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "sourceUrl": {
          "type": "search_as_you_type"
        }
      }
    },
    "namespace": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "subType": {
      "type": "search_as_you_type"
    },
    "id": {
      "type": "keyword"
    },
    "slug": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "status": {
      "type": "keyword"
    },
    "updatedAt": {
      "format": "epoch_millis",
      "type": "date"
    }
  }
}

```

The index pattern I'm using that references multiple indexes.  
All of these indexes use the same index template with a single document type.

Why don't I see the rest of the fields?

Hello,

From this - [Graph troubleshooting and limitations | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/graph-troubleshooting.html)  
it looks like you would need to set **use\_significance** to false to see all the terms.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks,  
Bhavya

Hi Bhavya,

Thanks for this. I've already tried that.

Does the graph ignore fields that are "search\_as\_you\_type" and "nested"?
