Can you elaborate more on what you mean/did when you changed the index name?

Most likely when you renamed / started ingesting data into an index with a different name the mapping template (think schema) was not correctly applied and thus the field types etc are not correct.

How are you ingesting the data?

Why did you change the name?

From what name before to what name after?

Do you have a index template mapping?
