      Issue Summary
      The Time Since Chart gadget fails to load when configured with any custom Date Picker field on Jira DC 11.3.5. The DateHistogramLuceneAggregator throws IllegalStateException: unexpected docvalues type NONE because the Date Picker custom field indexer is not emitting DocValues required by the aggregation API. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. On Jira DC 11.3.5, create a custom field of type "Date Picker"
      2. Create issues with date values in the field
      3. Run a full re-index
      4. Create a filter selecting issues with dates in that field
      5. Add a Time Since Chart gadget to a dashboard configured with: the filter, the custom Date Picker field, Period: Monthly, Days Previous: 365, Cumulative Totals: Yes, Show Unresolved Trend: Never
      6. Save and load the gadget
      7. Gadget fails to load ( see the Screenshot attached ) 

      Expected Results

      The Time Since Chart gadget renders correctly, displaying a monthly histogram — consistently

      Actual Results

      Gadget fails to load. Error in atlassian-jira.log:
