Field Sidebar Update Issue in Query Selection

TLDR Zygimantas experienced issues with field sidebar not updating according to field selection. Prabhat explained that it's not supposed to change and suggested using the sidebar fields to filter.

Cool, i was expecting it to reload by selection, it would be easier to filter out certain queries

We have ~5k hostnames, it would be easier to query :slightly_smiling_face: but i guess we can use query editor for that, thanks anyway, great product

> Cool, i was expecting it to reload by selection, it would be easier to filter out certain queries I think I do not understand this. If you set the initial query to a hostname then do you expect other fields to update?

Do you mean to update the other values in the drop down like this?
