After executing

```auto
_update_by_query?conflicts=proceed&wait_for_completion=false 

```

I want to check details so I call

```auto
GET _tasks?detailed=true&actions=*byquery

```

and I receive response with number of "version\_conflicts" : {number} per task.  
How can I get more details e.g. which documents these conflicts refer to?
