Error on index template creation: "composable template [...] template after composition is invalid"

Elastic Stack Kibana

Subject really says it all.

version 7.14

The cluster is new and has just one node for testing and this is the first datastream I have tried to create.

One thing that is puzzling me is what does it mean by "composable template"?

I create the template in kibana from that index-templates page.

There is this message in the ES server log:

[2021-12-07T07:21:21,066][INFO ][o.e.c.m.MetadataIndexTemplateService] [secmonprd08] adding index template [simulate_template_6vmtsg5kq_eziqoggn7r-a] for index patterns [45a298b8-5fa9-479c-a4a0-340b1410d769]

the template now has no index setting, component templates or aliases.  Just mapping.   I have created mapping both by hand and by json.

The only thing I turned up when searching the message was a discussion on github amongst ES developers about how unsatisfactory the message was!

I have managed to work around this by the simple expedient of first creating an, effectively, empty template (name and index pattern) and then editing the template to add the mappings.
