Metafield metaobject filter doesn't show all its elements

Hello, I’ve created a metafield of metaobject with 5 text fields.

I added the metafield as a filter in the search e discovery app.

The problem is that only the selected field of the metaobject is shown, how can I show all the metaobject fields?
