Hello, I would like to visualize buckets by using text fields rather than keywords. For doing this I enabled `fielddata` on the targeted text field. I am able to see the results when I am running the aggregation from dev tools. However, I am wondering how could I run it on Visualize, as I am unable to change the fields list? Many thanks in advance. ---

Hi, what if you update the mapping of your text adding also a `keyword` type, and use that on your visualization? > **[Text field type | Elasticsearch Reference \[7.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html#before-enabling-fielddata)** ---

Hello, Thank you so much for your answer. My field is already a keyword and text. My concern is how to aggregate on the text in the visualisation. I am able to do it on dev tools but not on visualize. ---

Can you describe your use case so I can describe which visualization tool is better to use for your case? ---

Hello markov, Sorry for my late reply. I have documents including a set of sentences and I'd like to have the most significant words from all the document. It could be done using an aggregation. As the aggregations only work on keywords, I used fielddata ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html#enable-fielddata-text-fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html#enable-fielddata-text-fields)) for enabling aggregation of text fields. However, now, I would like to do visualize that (vertical/ horizontal bar). The problem is that Kibana gives me only the possibility to select field.keyword. Example, if my field is `content`, I am unable to select bucket aggregation (inside visualize) on the `content`. I have only `content.keyword` as option. Hope it is clear. Many thanks. Best regards. ---
