Why is "stats latest(field) as FIELDNAME" not displaying any values under FIELDNAME in search results?

My last stats command is not showing the values by sublocation. It shows each sublocation but no values are shown.

index=###### sourcetype=####### 
| lookup csirt_asset_list ip OUTPUT sublocation   
| search hasBeenMitigated=0 sublocation=*   
| stats dc(ip) as Total1 by sublocation
| join [ search index=##### sourcetype=##### pluginID<1000000 baseScore>0   
| lookup csirt_asset_list ip OUTPUT sublocation   
| search hasBeenMitigated=0 sublocation=* 
| stats dc(ip) as Total2 by sublocation] 
| join [search index=##### sourcetype=##### pluginID<1000000 baseScore>0   
| lookup csirt_asset_list ip OUTPUT sublocation   
| search hasBeenMitigated=0 sublocation=*   
| stats count as counted by baseScore, sublocation   
| fields + sublocation, baseScore, counted  
| sort-baseScore  
| lookup weight_lookup baseScore OUTPUT wmultiplier  
| eval aaa=(counted * wmultiplier) 
| eventstats sum(aaa) as test1, sum(counted) as test2
| eval bbb=(test1 / test2)  
| eval bbb=round(bbb,2)] 
| eval cvss_overall_score=bbb*(Total2/Total1) 
| stats latest(cvss_overall_score) as "CVSS Overall Score" by sublocation

OUTPUT LOOKS LIKE THIS

sublocation       CVSS Overall Score
abc
def
ghi

Nothing is showing under CVSS Overall Score. If I use:

| stats latest(cvss_overall_score) as "CVSS Overall Score"

It shows the CVSS Overall Score.

Thanks for your help

latest() needs _time field, which is missing in your resultset. Try last() instead

I tried evaling a _time field before running stats latest and it still didn't work. Is there some way I can force stats to recognize my new _time field?
