I want to create a dynamic template for mapping the array of objects as nested type instead of object type automatically.

I have downloaded the basic template from curl -X GET "localhost:9200/\_template". Please let me know where should I to change the type as nested for array of objects.

Please let me know if you require more details

Found the solution for this

{  
"mappings" : {  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"objects": {  
"match": "\*",  
"match\_mapping\_type" : "object",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "nested",  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}
