Hello!  
Please advice. I have documents with fields looks like this

```auto
{
"something": "some value",
...
 "outdated_products": [
      {
        "product": "Google Chrome earlier than 101.0.1034.124"
      }
    ],
  "software": [
         "Google Chrome",
         "Mozilla Firefox"
    ],
}

```

I need to add field 'used: True' if one item of array "software" contained in "outdated\_products"  
That's what i did:  
I added foreach ingest processor with following settings

```auto
    {
      "foreach": {
        "field": "software",
        "processor": {
          "set": {
            "field": "used",
            "value": "true"
          }
        },
        "if": "ctx.outdated_products[0].product.contains('_ingest._value')",
        "ignore_failure": true
      }
    },

```

but nothing happens. If I add value of software directly instead of '\_ingest.\_value' everything works fine. Where I'm wrong?

Hello,  
you seem to be hitting this bug [Can not access \_ingest metadata from painless scripting · Issue #60470 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/60470)  
-\> `_ingest._value` is not added in the painless context, thus unavailable in the `if`  
suggestions:

- set an (inconditional) temporary field in the `foreach` as suggested in the issue, and use it in a later `set` processor
- make a script instead of the `foreach` (if you're comfortable with java/painless)
