_parent missing during mapping

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
