Hi All,  
I have a string field with multiple whitespaces in it(replaced whitespaces with \_ to show):  
"numloops\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_| 5\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_"

I see the the text is correctly captured in the Jason output:

 ![JasonOut_Logmsg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/3/935e0ee49de1475e3bfb0f85a5440acf9d747c96.png)

However on the visualization, the multiple whitespaces are replaced wit a single whitespace:

 ![FilterDisplay_Logmsg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/c/bc86f3771a89dee709830bc0ccdedca02862b34e.png)

I could not find any info in the search related to this.  
Are there any settings to keep all whitespaces in the visualization ?

Hi

According to you screenshot you're using Kibana / Discover, right?  
So there's currently no way to do this, but it sounds like a valid feature request, do you want to open one?

Thx & Best,
