I'm using painless in my reindex to create the new index name from xxxxx-yyyy.mm.dd to xxxxx-yyyy.mm.dd-ro, and I get the error that the post run quick check failed. I didn't know how to name the destination index without painless, but the dest.index: was required, so I put a made up value.
Am I over-complicating this by using painless? If not, any suggestions on how to fix this, please?

If you were using `MIGRATION`, I would have suggested using `migration_suffix`. But since you’re using `REINDEX_SELECTION`, then painless is the only easy way to rename each index.

I would use `MIGRATION` if I could use some kind of wild card for the source index name, to get all of the indexes?
Since I am using `REINDEX_SELECTION` and `painless`, is there a way to prevent this error? If not, then I'll have to arrange the order of my "actions" to have this run last. Plus, I'm losing the Quick Check validation.

🤦♂️ My bad. My travel-worn, tired brain missed something big here, and that is that `MIGRATION` is not limited to remote reindex. In other words, you should be able to use `MIGRATION` in conjunction with `REINDEX_SELECTION`, no problem:
