Hello everyone.
I tried to add some filterthe s into visualization section and like you the see on screen I selecthe ted in controls panel on the right side Index patter apm-\*-transaction and I tried to add in filter url.full : _reportManager_ or url.fragment but those fields are not visible in drop down.
After those attempts I add a filter as a DSL query :
```auto
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{
"bool": {
"minimum_should_match": 1,
"should": [
{
"query_string": {
"fields": [
"url.full"
],
"query": "*reportManager*"
}
}
]
}
}
],
"must": [],
"must_not": [],
"should": []
}
}
}
```
But this wasn't help to retrieve correct values in dropdown.
I checked the saved objects section and how it looks like there :
I followed those examples :
- [Rename the index-pattern for sample visualizations - #2 by flash1293](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rename-the-index-pattern-for-sample-visualizations/266617/2)
- [Changing the index pattern that a visualisation is based on](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/changing-the-index-pattern-that-a-visualisation-is-based-on/268290)
Can someone help me with this 🙂
I am wondering if this is a bug ? or I missed something in configuration.
Thanks in advance.

I assume you are in Kibana 7.x. Check this issue and comments where the same behavior is described.

> 3. In the new control options, specify an index pattern that doesn't match the default (preferred) index pattern and complete the control options choosing any field

In the new version of the controls for 8.x you cannot specify filters for the controls visualization.

The ability to pre-filter the new Controls is being considered for phase III of the Controls project. The issue related to this enhancement request is [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/140112)
