Dynamic Mapping for Nested Objects

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is it possible to have dynamic mapping for a nested object like the following -


employee
{
   "id":"1",
   "name":"manager",
   "assistants":[
   {
      "id":"2",
      "name":"assistant1"
    },
      {
      "id":"3",
      "name":"assistant2"
    }
  ]
}

I am not defining any dynamic mapping template or custom mapping for my index. I want Elastic search to automatically recognize the nested structure when i index this json and form the mapping as the following so that i can use nested query on these documents

assistants : { "type":"nested"}
