There's been a number of issues filed around the user experience for interacting with non ECS fields in our flows. In the UI we allow users to filter and search using non-ECS fields, but doing so breaks the alerts table as our APIs do not support this.
Some issues that have been filed related to this issue - #136351, #166168.
After discussing our options, a proposed solution is as follows:
If a field is unmapped:
do not show action options to filter field in/out
show a new option to add the field as a runtime field
This way, we are guiding the user towards a solution, not simply blocking or taking away functionality.
Areas that would need updating:
Hover actions in alerts table, alerts details flyout
