Hi, I made a fresh install of kibana 8.4.3. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/b/cbf2e1ecce2b11911fb31db545a7a68a3bedbb31.png) Where did the time picker went? Also in Discover panel I have plenty of usecases where I need to specify a time range. Thanks a lot, Andreas ---

I noticed I had an error within my exported and imported dataview. The time field is not set. Is there any way via GUI to update the TimeField to an existing DataView? ---

Hi @asp, it's good to hear you found the source of the issue. From within Discover, this is how you can edit your data view's time field: `click the data view selector button -> click 'Manage this data view' -> click the 'Edit' button on the management screen`. This will open an 'Edit data view' panel with a 'Timestamp field' input you can use to switch the time field. Alternatively, you can navigate directly to the data view management screen from the main navigation menu: `Management -> Stack Management -> Data Views`. ---

@Davis_McPhee Thanks for the replay. I cannot see, that I am able to edit a data-view: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/6/d6f1078a1d447bf471e6f3e114ff4a6f35c059e2.png) When I open the dataview and navigat to @timestamp: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/d/5d5dc608168cd9286169dff60b03c62313ac874d.png) Where can I define it as timestamp being used for the dataview? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/d/6dfff9425d6b44844e0d287d88d548fbde35df4e.png) ---

Hi @asp ! Sorry for the confusion. The functionality you are looking for is on Edit data view form. There is a dropdown where you can configure a time field for that data view: ![Screenshot 2022-12-05 at 10.11.25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/7/7711928cd301f3f46f46bca0389c34e86cd98909.png) As Davis mentioned there are a couple of ways how to open this form. Please check the gifs below. Via the data view picker: ![Dec-05-2022 10-07-46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/2/42fb4fbbdeeb3f0adec7dd9e2e9f8be5ba66ea3c.gif) Via Stack Management directly: ![Dec-05-2022 10-10-30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/3/331f9becde66be008febc5a02b8be7ccda5f833e.gif) ---
