Elastic search - reset enabled flag of object index type

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a field of "Object" index type. It was initially created with index
mapping with "enabled" : false. For example:

"root_obj": {
"properties": {
  "test_obj": {
  "type": "object",       
  "enabled": false          
  }
}

Later now, I have the need to reset the enabled flag to true and index some
inner objects. For example: I used the PUT mapping api to update the
mapping to something like below:

"root_obj": {
"properties": {
"test_obj": {
"type": "object",
"enabled": true,
"dynamic": false,
"properties": {
"geo_shape_obj" : {
"type": "geo_shape",
"tree": "quadtree",
"precision": "10m"
}
}
}
}

However, ES does not seems to be resetting the enabled flag. When I check
the mapping using get mapping api, the "test_obj" still has enabled flag
set to false. Also search api is not retrieving any results with the new
indexed inner object "geo_shape_obj".

Has anyone else experienced this ? Can a field's enabled flag be reset to
true ?
