Hi

I have followed the example in the document to draw a polygon on a map. Here are the setting.

PUT /admnycoord  
{  
"mappings": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_shape"  
}  
}  
}  
}

POST /admnycoord/\_doc?refresh  
{  
"name": "NY",  
"location": {  
"type": "Polygon",  
"coordinates" : [  
[[-74.3615,40.4433],[-74.3615,40.9823],[-73.6504,40.9823],[-73.6504,40.4433],[-74.3615,40.4433] ]  
]  
}  
}

If I have the following fields (geo\_points) defined in the schema as and data will be extracted and store inside these fields:  
|navlog.context.bbox\_point\_0|geo\_point  
|navlog.context.bbox\_point\_1|geo\_point  
|navlog.context.bbox\_point\_2|geo\_point  
|navlog.context.bbox\_point\_3|geo\_point

Question: How can I replace the above field inside the above list of coordinates. For example, I would like to have the follow code change:

POST /admnycoord/\_doc?refresh  
{  
"name": "NY",  
"location": {  
"type": "Polygon",  
"coordinates" : [  
[[navlog.context.bbox\_point\_0],[navlog.context.bbox\_point\_1],[navlog.context.bbox\_point\_2],[navlog.context.bbox\_point\_3],[navlog.context.bbox\_point\_0] ]  
]  
}  
}

Thank you in advance for your prompt response and help.

Best Regards

Hung

Please format your code/logs/config using the `</>` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you 🙂

Just to be clear, you want to pull the individual geopoints from documents in another index into the single geo shape, using variables or similar?
