Currently in Discover, there's no good way to update the field list, so new fields of documents ingested in the background will show up unmapped. Users could reload the Browser or switch to another data view and back.
While this UX is questionable it currently works, but will stop working, when we start to cache the field_caps requests to ES, that are used to fetch the fields of a data view.

Therefore we should introduce a new UI element, a link, a button, something else allowing the user to refresh the field list, so unmapped fields are displayed correctly. This could be part of the DataViewPicker of UnifiedSearch, the UnifiedFieldList, or just Discover, but having this functionality backed into share components brings the benefit of allowing part parts of Kibana like Lens to refresh a DataView fields if needed.
