I'm trying to use Kibana's "index patterns" -\> "scripted fields" to manipulate the values of indexed fields.  
When using either of the following script I am getting all the elements copied to the new scripted index:  
doc['EntityTigerDestLong'].values  
also, if I want to change only one value in the array, I can:  
doc['EntityTigerDestLong'].values[0]+1

but I don't know how to change all the values at once.

hi @elad_sheinfeld

seems like you'd have to write a loop to do this.

For a template, see here:

thx,
