I use ES 6.24 what is running via Docker image configured in docker compose file. After some time I got error _Limit of total fields [1000] in index **my\_index** has been exceeded_. I tried to use set this limit in environment part: `environment: - FIELDS_LIMIT=3000` but the error still occurs. When I used command bellow the size was increased `curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_all/_settings" -d '{"template": "*","order": 0,"settings": {"index": {"mapping": {"total_fields": { "limit": 3000 }}}}}'` Is any solution for this issue? I tried to add the curl command to command property in yml file but it failed. Probably because the ES hasn't started yet. ---

That setting can not be set through the configuration file so the best option is probably to add an index template. ---

What ES version supports property FIELDS\_LIMIT? I used for test image with 7.16.1 and there were fields limit set correctly by this property. Is it 7.X.X and above? ---

If that is a feature that has been available, I was not aware of it. I therefore do not think I can help much. ---
