How to create subsearch/join query to get extra field?

I'm trying to do a simple query to get a hostname from events in a different sourcetype. I have a event in sourcetype A, which don't have a field "host_name". This field is present in sourcetype B. The index is the same, let's call it X. Both events can be matched through the field "sensor_id". I want to retrieve the field "process_command_line" from sourcetype A and host_name from sourcetype B, for the events that match the same "sensor_id" field. Here's a sample query that works:

 

 

index=X sourcetype=B [search index=X sourcetype=A | table sensor_id] | table sensor_id host_name

 

 

However, I also need to retrieve the process_command_line, which is only present in sourcetype A. If I add that to the subsearch, it retrieves zero results:

 

 

index=X sourcetype=B [search index=X sourcetype=A | table sensor_id process_command_line] | table sensor_id host_name process_command_line

 

 

Any idea how can I retrieve all three fields?
