Hello Guys,

I am working with Event type of system. Where we have multiple dates for the same event like:

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/6/d64ddc4ea9072f81c779822fd1139b30ca4422a8.png)

And the values are comma separated, like: 2017-06-03,2017-06-05,2017-06-07 and the data map is:

```
{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "event_date": {
          "type": "date",
          "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

But in this case the document is not able to index to elasticsearch.

Please help me, how I can index this and add the range filter?

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

I believe you can index that as:

```auto
{
  "event_date": ["2017-06-02", "2017-06-04", "2017-06-06"]
}

```

Unsure if this will solve your use case though.
