Hi

We have mapping to a document as **"\_source" : {"enabled" : false }** in the template mappings.

When we tried to add a field from java api it is throwing document source missing.

Any Ideas, how to (add to /get) field from the source where **"\_source" : {"enabled" : false }** is set in the template mappings.

Regards,  
Akram.
