Hi, Can I have different(String, integer, etc) core types in a single multi\_field? If not, then how to create a custom "\_all" field that conatins values from selected fields in the document?

Hey, usually you are using a multi field to have different behaviour for strings, using it for an int and a double does not make a lot of sense, maybe you can tell a bit more about your use-case. Regarding a custom \_all field: You can configure for every field, if it should be put in the all field or not, see the include\_in\_all option in the mapping.
