_parent missing during mapping - error inserting objects with parent

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm trying to add a _ parent with the following mappings but for some
reason the _parent field gets ignored so when I go to insert a new object
in Elastic search I get an exception that no parent field was specified
anyone knows why this is happening?

Regards
Shawn

Assuming you are talking about trying to index a child document into
elasticsearch_tests_utilityobjects_zeepextag? If so, you just need to
specify the parent id in the url when you index:

curl -XPOST
localhost:9200/index/elasticsearch_tests_utilityobjects_zeepextag?parent=parent_id

That is what I am doing yet I get the following exception

http://127.0.0.1:9200/testcollection/elasticsearch_tests_utilityobjects_zeepextag/5333df0b34bb61316092f4b0?parent=5333de6034bb61316092f4a6

{"error":"ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[Can't specify parent if no
parent field has been configured]","status":400}

Any idea what it might be?

Found the issue it was related to me using an incorrect index in the URL.
