I am getting an error when trying to create a new Kibana index pattern:

`Error: Bad Request`

 ![Screenshot 2020-06-26 at 10.58.32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/4/f425a50abeb2f10889769bc970c564ac473ddd5a.png)

I don't have any details about why it's not working. Any thoughts?

...

I did apply the following the other day - intending to add an ingest\_timestamp to all Elasticsearch indexes as per this article: [Dec 12th, 2018: [EN][Elasticsearch] Automatically adding a timestamp to documents](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dec-12th-2018-en-elasticsearch-automatically-adding-a-timestamp-to-documents/159314)

Could this be causing issues?

```
PUT _ingest/pipeline/my_timestamp_pipeline
{
  "description": "Adds a field to a document with the time of ingestion into Elasticsearch",
  "processors": [
    {
      "set": {
        "field": "ingest_timestamp",
        "value": "{{_ingest.timestamp}}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

PUT /*/_settings
{
  "settings": {
    "default_pipeline": "my_timestamp_pipeline"
  }
}
```

I see this response in the network panel... seems there is some more work needed to set this up

```
{"message":"mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [ingest_timestamp] within [_doc] is not allowed: [strict_dynamic_mapping_exception] mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [ingest_timestamp] within [_doc] is not allowed","statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request"}
```

seems I shouldn't have updated the .kibana\_\* indexes

> Same issue here. Came from an elastic stack 6.7.1 and just updated to 7.0.0. Our stack runs in docker. Kibana has no additional config.

this solved it:
