Dear all,

I am new to Elasticsearch and I want to know how I can add a new field to  
an alias... Let me explain what I am doing,

Actually what I am trying to do is explained here,

> <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29080751/how-to-change-the-alias-value-on-elasticsearch>

So according to the response that I got, I tried to use "script\_fields"  
while the query, but as a result I got just the filtered result, what I  
want is to get \_source + scripted field.

Second thing I tried was,

I had an alias which was pointin my index, so what I tried to do was to  
have a new alias pointing the same index but scripted filter added this  
time; so I tried to generate a new alias while adding a new scripted field  
but I am still unavailable to do that. Do you have any idea how I can  
continue ?

Thanks a lot
