[Maps ] custom labels for tool tip field names

[Sjaak01]

Hi,

The new Maps app is starting to look really cool but one thing I'm missing is the ability to customize vector styles and field names.

Right now you can only select a couple of preset colors that, in my case, always lead to awkward results. For example the green to red bar makes the lowest value in a field green. But in one of my cases the lowest value has a negative meaning. The end result is the exact opposite of what the end user would expect (green is good, red is bad).

Allowing the set custom values and ranges much like the color format option in index management would make Maps so much powerful when it comes to quickly spotting important data. As not every value can easily be assigned a numerical value, it should be possible to configure both numerical and string fields.

• On a numerical field it should be possible to set (multiple) ranges and give each range a color.
• On string fields it should be possible to set multiple colors based on static values or regex.

As for the tool tip names, this speaks for itself I think. While my field names are comprehensible, having the tool tip simply show something like "cost" instead of "product_base_cost" would make life a lot easier for end users.

• Allow custom label names for fields in the tool tip.

There is an open issue for customizing metric labels #31697

There is an open issue for custom color ramps and ranges #27716

There are no issues for custom tooltip labels. I am going to rename this issue to capture that enhancement

I was just about to open a similar issue to this. Example screenshot below:

I would like to see this implemented at the IndexPattern level so users do not have to define a custom label every time they use a field.

Closed by #83717.

With 7.11 you can now provide a custom label for index pattern fields

I can't tell you how much I love seeing these older issues closed 👏 👏 👏
