Hi ,

I'm wondering why my elasticsearch mappings are changing automatically after I rename fields like "city", "state", "statefp" etc. Also, this is effecting which fields can be aggregatable on the Kibana side.

Before:  
I have my mapping as below:

It gets interpreted as below: (it assigns 'type' and 'ignore above' fields)

After: However after I rename them to "geocoded\_city" and "geocoded\_state" etc.. They are treated very differently by the elasticsearch analyzer. I have not changed anything else.

Here is mapping after renaming:

Interpreted as : ( **Does not assign keyword now** )

Any reason why this happens?

Thanks !
