Looks good. We may want to think about what to do with the range controls eventually, but that could be tackled separately since there isn't an obvious solution and I imagine not as prominent as this issue. e.g. what if I want my range to show my field as percentage - though looks like right now we can't have non whole steps so that doesn't work anyway. The problem comes in with parsing the input of the range sides (we probably don't want to be parsing 19kb into a raw value, etc).

@nreese thanks for this feature! We are embedding kibana dashboards into our app and wanted to know the following:

1. Is this feature available in 6.3.2?
2. If so, could you give us a guide that will enable us to use this feature to allow our users to manipulate a time field such as the @timestamp pic above?

Looking forward to your reply!

This feature is in 6.3.

You will have to add a field formatter for the field used by the control. Field formatters are managed under Index Patterns - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-fields.html
