Hi,

I copied a template from ES\_1 to ES\_2. In ES\_1 there are no ".keyword"'s in them while in ES\_2 there are.

I saw in ES\_2:

```
"transactionId": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },

```

Even though I copied the template from ES\_1 to ES\_2...

This means if I query for an in ES\_1 I will get a result while in ES\_2 I will get an error, but querying for a.keyword in ES\_1 will give me an error but in ES\_2 it will be fine. Why is this, how can I change this?
