Hi, I want use multiple types for match\_mapping\_type when configuring a dynamic template. I've tried to following options, but none worked: "match\_mapping\_type" : ["string", "integer", "long", "float", "double", "boolean"] "match\_mapping\_type" : "string|integer|long|float|double|boolean" I can always fallback to defining multiple templates, but it feels wrong.
