Hello. How to make columns not indexed as Keyword when importing CSV? (I'm using the standard integration, not Logstash). The problem is that I can't seem to change the Keyword to a specific data type in any way. I will be forever grateful for your help

Hi @tavd-projects,

I assume by standard integration you're using the file upload? You can amend the mapping in the advanced tab of the import screen, as shown below:
