Hello,

I cant map correctly the following field:

http.request.body.original

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/8/e8bd89b08c6ffb14f148851fd1ab949feca93aca.png)

Currently part of my mapping looks like that for my apm indices:

```
"http" : {
          "dynamic" : "false",
          "properties" : {
            "request" : {
              "properties" : {
                "body" : {
                  "properties" : {
                    "bytes" : {
                      "type" : "long"
                    },
                    "content" : {
                      "type" : "keyword",
                      "fields" : {
                        "text" : {
                          "type" : "text",
                          "norms" : false
                        }
                      },
                      "ignore_above" : 1024
                    }
                  }
                },
                "bytes" : {
                  "type" : "long"
                },
                "headers" : {
                  "type" : "object",
                  "dynamic" : "true"
                },
                "method" : {
                  "type" : "keyword",
                  "ignore_above" : 1024
                },
                "referrer" : {
                  "type" : "keyword",
                  "ignore_above" : 1024
                },
                "socket" : {
                  "type" : "object",
                  "dynamic" : "true"
                }
              }
            }

```

But i want to make http field dynamic and also add the http.request.body.original field

i use the following code in order to create a mapping for that field in kibana:

```
PUT apm-*/_mapping
{
"http": {
          "dynamic": "true",
          "properties": {
            "request": {
              "properties": {
                "body": {
                  "properties": {
                    "original": {
                      "type": "text",
                      "index": true
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
}
}

```

Nevertheless as the logs and image below show i receive a mapping exception:

```
"type" : "mapper_parsing_exception",
        "reason" : "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [http : {dynamic=true, properties={request={properties={body={properties={original={index=true, type=text}}}}}}}]"

```

Thank you
