Hi,

Is there a way to add multiple numeric values of multiple fields and create a "total" field?

'''  
"Object": {  
field1: 3  
field2: 4  
field3: 5  
field4: 1  
field5: 2  
"total": 15  
}  
'''

You could use an ingest pipeline with a script processor to compute this before the document is actually indexed.

Thank you @dadoonet. I was actually thinking about taking that route.
