Using a "missing" field option in a group by statement in a Data Transform

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a data transform (using kibana's interface) in elasticsearch that includes missing docs for one of it's group by parameters as such:

However, once I hit apply changes, it obliterates the line and ignores the instruction.
Is it a limitation? I've looked through the transform documentation and limitations but didn't find anything specifically referring to this.

Hi,

this is a known issue: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/42941

However, a note in the docs would be a good thing, I agree.
