Hi friends

I have installed size mapping plugin and I added it to Kibana meta fields too

I could successfully enable "\_size" in Elasticsearch via bellow command and see the result in kibana

```auto
PUT logstash-2023-06-06
{
  "mappings": {
    "_size": {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
} 

```

but I could just enable size field in a single upcoming index, how to enable \_size mapping in all of my upcoming indices and legacy index template?  
should I add it in Kibana legacy index template or elasticsearch?
