Hello,

I am updating the version 1.7 to 5.0 of ElasticSearch.

I have the following exception concerning a json mapping :

MapperParsingException[Failed to parse mapping [service]: Mapping definition for [prices] has unsupported parameters: [dynamic\_templates : [{prices={mapping={type=integer}, match\_mapping\_type=text}}]]]; nested: MapperParsingException[Mapping definition for [prices] has unsupported parameters: [dynamic\_templates : [{prices={mapping={type=integer}, match\_mapping\_type=text}}]]];

// my json code

```
 {
    "service" : {
        "dynamic": "false",
        "_source": {
            "excludes": [
                "facets",
                "filters",
                "searchText",
                "pubSearchText",
                "sort"
            ]
        },
        "properties": {
            "category": { "type": "integer" },

            "sort" : {
                "properties": {
                    "prices": {
                        "dynamic": "true",
                        "type": "object",
                        "dynamic_templates": [{
                            "prices" : {
                                "match" : "*",
                                "mapping" : { "type" : "integer" }
                            }
                        }]
                    },
                    "px12": { "type": "integer" },
                    "px24": { "type": "integer" },
                    "pxSe": { "type": "integer" },
                    "publishedDate": { "type": "long" },
                    "salesLevel": { "type": "integer" },
                    "dartyComSort": { "type": "integer" }
                }
            }
        }
		
    }
}

```

I think "dynamic\_templates" is misplaced.

Please help me 🙂

Thank you very much.

`dynamic_templates` are a top level feature of mappings. they need to be at the same level as the root `dynamic` setting. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html)
