By default, body\_content grabs content that's irrelevant for my use case. Instead of creating a new field with custom extraction rules, I'd rather edit the rules for body\_content to avoid creating unused fields in my documents. It's not obvious to me whether or not this is possible from reading the docs, so I'd appreciate some help confirming whether or not this is possible.
