Hi, I just wonder if it's possible to do graph queries on documents with nested datatypes? Thanks, Tomas Fält ---

Hi Tomas, While the query criteria used to seed the exploration can contain `nested` type clauses the results that we network are currently only terms from the root-level docs. If this is a problem you could consider using the copy\_to [1] in your mapping to put values from nested docs into the root. Cheers Mark [1] [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/copy-to.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/copy-to.html) ---

Thank you Mark for your prompt reply! I thought so since nested datatypes don't work directly in Kibana ([Nested type aggregations in Kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084) and I will look into using copy\_to and/or include\_in\_parent. Regards, Tomas Fält ---
