I've tried to index it like this:

```
   body: {
            name: form.value.name,
            title: form.value.title,
            description: form.value.description,
            published: new Date().toLocaleString(),
            stash: {
              "title": this.alternativeFields.value,
              "type": "object",
              "dynamic": true
            }
          }

```

Basically `this.alternativeFields.value` is an array that contains, for example:

> ["field1", "field2", "field3"]

And for every position of that array I want to create a field in the elastic document.

Is there a way to do that?
