Works well. Thanks for fixing it for 8.x!
Unfortunately, backporting to 7.x would not be smooth as it does not have @kbn/discover-utils
package.
Yeah, the backport is certainly going to fail. If it's as simple to get it working as inlining |

…reports (elastic#172240) ## Summary When we generate the parameters for the report, we add all of the selected columns as entries in the search request `fields` array (or `*` if none are selected, which is why this case works), but this doesn't work for nested fields since [the fields API doesn't support nested field roots](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-fields.html#search-fields-nested): >However, when the `fields` pattern targets the nested `user` field directly, no values will be returned because the pattern doesn’t match any leaf fields. Instead we can detect nested fields and add them to the `fields` array as `{nestedFieldName}.*`, ensuring that all of the leaf fields are returned in the response.

Summary
When we generate the parameters for the report, we add all of the selected columns as entries in the search request
fields
array (or*
if none are selected, which is why this case works), but this doesn't work for nested fields since the fields API doesn't support nested field roots:Instead we can detect nested fields and add them to the
fields
array as{nestedFieldName}.*
, ensuring that all of the leaf fields are returned in the response.Fixes #172236.
