When using "typeof, results are field value invalid
I have used "typeof" to know the Types for fields for the data set in splunk web version, but I get the Value column showing invalid in each one of its corresponding rows.

So @somesoni2 , im seeing the Ent_Code as invalid in "value" column after I click on "AllFields"
