Kibana is not helping the user fix errors on saved objects for deprecated scripted field doc['timestamp'].value.hourOfDay

[bhavyarm]

Kibana version: 8.0.0 rc1

Elasticsearch version: 8.0.0 rc1

Server OS version: darwin_x86_64

Browser version: chrome latest

Browser OS version: OS X

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): from staging

Describe the bug: Currently Kibana just displays error on saved search panel if search has fields with scripted field defined with doc['timestamp'].value.hourOfDay.

The error shows up only in discover after user clicks edit and navigates to discover -

Can we please add some details in the dashboard panel for the error?

I am seeing this on flights sample dashboard upgraded from 6.8 to 8.0.0 in my local.

I think this needs to be updated on the Discover side, I have changed the tags.

yes, we should improve this!

This also happens on heatmap viz. Plus when you click on edit script - Kibana just plunks the user on index pattern management page. Not the specific scripted field user needs to fix.

Here is the error on viz on dashboard:

on the viz

When user clicks on edit script:

edit_script.mp4

I think this bug belongs to appservices?

I've checked for Discover, Saved searches, in the meantime it doesn't pretend there are no results, so the bug showing the wrong screen was solved in the meantime.

however EsError: runtime error is not very helpful, but that's the error we get in this case, so this for sure can't be improved. but I guess it's @elastic/kibana-app-services territory, error reporting on a dashboard? relabeling the issue a bit

Closing this because it's not planned to be resolved in the foreseeable future. It will be tracked in our Icebox and will be re-opened if our priorities change. Feel free to re-open if you think it should be melted sooner.
