Hi, We are trying to migrate from 5.5.2. to 6.8.12 version.Below is the sample of my mapping. I have set my mapping to dynamic:strict and only one object I would want to introduce dynamically so setting it to true. This worked fine 5.5.2 but in 6.8.12 I am getting the below error. Can some one please help how to proceed. Error: [ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=strict\_dynamic\_mapping\_exception, reason=mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [5bd6fa70-0412-11eb-a292-8aa14da452bd] within [\_doc] is not allowed]]] Mapping: ```auto { "dynamic":"strict", "properties":{ "name":{ "type":"text", "analyzer":"case_insensitive_analyzer", "fielddata":true }, "location":{ "type":"object", "dynamic":"true" } } } ``` ---

We insert using BulkProcessor JAVA API and use RESTHttpClient([http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)) ```auto Map map = new HashMap<>();| map.putAll("attributes1");-->other fields in schema map.putAll("attributes");---> this is the attribute lcoation with dynamic true esBulkProcessor.processRequest(new UpdateRequest(index,_doc,key).doc(map).upsert( new IndexRequest(index).id(key).source(map))); @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") public synchronized void processRequest(DocWriteRequest request) { bulkProcessor .add(request); } ``` Let me know if you need anything. Thanks for the response. ---

Are you trying to set a different `_doc` type as it is set in the index? Can you try to omit it? ---
