Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance,

You cannot change the mapping of an indexed document directly. You may

  • Ingest again with the correct mapping
  • add a new field to receive the converted value using _update_by_query API
  • the most likely best solution would be to reindex into a new index.

Both methods accept a painless script where you can perform your change, check the links I shared.
