Dear Team,

Am facing error in Painless script in version 7.3. Same script is working fine in the version 6.5.3. Please help to identify the issue.

Error message : Script is invalid. View script preview for details(Attaching the screenshot)

 ![Script%20error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/3/632ff1c56b8889298ed92b3330758cabdce8b763.jpeg)

Below is the script

if (doc['result.state'].value == "Resolved"){  
return "Resolved";  
}else if (doc['result.state'].value == "Closed") {  
return "Closed";  
}else if (doc['result.state'].value == "New") {  
return "Pending";  
}

It's likely the scripted field is trying to do a lookup for the fields mapping, and if there's any indices matched on the pattern where this doesn't exist you'll see this error.

You can do something like

```auto
if (!doc.containsKey('result.state') return null;
```
