Hello all,

I am quite new to the Vega world inside Kibana and would like to make a Vega visualization interactive so that the Kibana filters are updated on click.  
I have seen the following tutorial --\> [Update Timefilter from Vega](([Vega - Tutorial: Updating Kibana filters from Vega - 《Kibana v7.9 Guide》 - 书栈网 · BookStack](https://www.bookstack.cn/read/kibana-7.9-en/c01a7922bb2496f3.md))

The challenge now is that I don't want to filter on the Time field, but on other fields and don't know how to address them in the Signals. In the tutorial, I understand that the time is set/filtered with the "SetTimeFilter" function in the following code snippet.

 ![Signals Update Time Filter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/4/f4a5f3675688f1586972b9a5e85829f7da5df2b0.png)

I took the code from the tutorial and adapted it analogously for my data. The graphic is clickable but the update in the signals fails obviously because I do not pass any date.

 ![Top News Vega](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/c/1cd6102ea06a0129e5639bce8637fa6764fe29d7.png)

So the question is which kind of other functions are available and how can I update/filter for my Keyword-Field "News".

Many thanks!

See [Here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/vega-reference.html#vega-queries).

You can retrieve the filter clause of dashboard context to set in query.

thanks for your response but I was looking for the other way round. I wanted to add a filter when clicking on one of the bars.  
"KibanaAddfilter(Query, Index)" did the job.
