Hello All,

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong sub-forum to ask the question. I am new to the forum and ELK in general.

I am looking to create multi-field mapping for a legacy index template using the Kibana create legacy template wizard but haven´t found a way to do this. For background we have our own application sending logs from logstash to ES(7.17)

Basically I want to be able to create something link this but using the UI

},  
"value1":{  
"type":"text",  
"fields":{  
"keyword":{  
"type":"keyword",  
"ignore\_above":256  
}  
},  
"norms":false

Thanks in advance
