Hello,

I want to move a whole subset of fields to another level,  
Example I want to move docker.container.label.org.myorg.\* to root level ?

Is there any way to do this without using :

> ```
> - rename:
> fields:
> - from: "docker.container.labels.org.myorg.logindex"
> to: "logindex"
> ignore_missing: true
> fail_on_error: false
> 
> ```

for every fields ?

Thanks

Hi @Lu_Do 🙂

I'm afraid that you'll need to specify the transformation for each field you want to convert, there's not something like a prefix based multi field conversor, sorry.
