Hi,

```
I have an index created by dynamically. Fields are also crated by dynamically.

```

I have an issue related to aggregation. some filed value greater than 256 characters, that values not getting aggregated.

eg : mapping

"field1" : {  
"fields" : {  
"keyword" : {  
"ignore\_above" : 256,  
"type" : "keyword"  
}  
},  
"type" : "text"  
},  
"field2" : {  
"type" : "text",  
"fields" : {  
"keyword" : {  
"type" : "keyword",  
"ignore\_above" : 256  
}  
}  
},

I changed all fields ignore\_above from template

"mappings": {  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"strings": {  
"match\_mapping\_type": "string",  
"mapping": {  
"type" : "keyword",  
"ignore\_above" : 500,  
"index": true  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

Its works, but aggregations are not working after change ignore\_above

please help

can you create a reproducible example, including the dynamic mapping, the index creation, an indexed document and a sample search query? otherwise it will be hard to follow your steps.

Thanks @spinscale  
Issue fixed now, Created a mapping in template. ( Previously didn't create any mappings, Default mapping was created )
