Hello all,

I am trying to use dynamic templates for all my string fields with an exception of my Time field so that I can set that one as type 'date'.

I need to use these fields("TransactTime\_Tag\_60" and "ExpireDate\_Tag\_432") as "Time Filter field" in Kibana while configuring the index pattern.

Mappings I have tried:

1. defining properties and dynamic template for all string values

1. Defining two dynamic templates to resolve this issue:

> <https://gist.github.com/pavithrachandrakasu/1c8db1fb231b2b4da984221a49a05d91>

Both these versions , still take "TransactTime\_Tag\_60" and "ExpireDate\_Tag\_432" as string fields and not as date.

Am I missing something here?

thanks,  
Pavithra

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.
