Hello,

In an effort to trying to reduce the index size, i am removing unnecessary mapping from the index template.

In Stack management -\> Index management -\> Templates -\> Edit template -\> Mappings i´m trying to delete a specific field. But, when click on delete, it does nothing and the page becomes blank (shown below):
