Hello,

Is there anyway to specify default fields in a stream ? By default only message and source are selected…  
It’s quiete annoying.  
If it’s not officially supported, is there any workaround ? Like a explanation on where those two fields are selected to be shown by default…

Thank you for your answers

No, that’s currently not supported.
