How to store current date

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

If I have mapping as below
{
"name" : { "type" : "string"},
"location" : { "type" : "string" },
"created_date" : { "type" : "date"}
}

Is it possible to put current date to "created_date" field automatically?
If yes, How to do?

Thanks
Hiko

You can use the _timestamp field to generate a date.
If you really need to copy the value in another field, you could use copy_to.

None will update _source though.

I have tried like below this

POST index_test
{
"mapping" : {
"type_test" : {
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"copy_to" : "created_date"
},
"properties" : {
"name" : { "type" : "string"},
"location" : { "type" : "string"},
"created_date" : { "type" : "date" }
}
}
}
}

POST index_test/type_test/123
{
"name" : "Full Test",
"location" : "local"
}

But the result that doesn't have "created_date" field. What did I do wrong
or missing?

GET index_test/_search

The result

{
"took": 3,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 1,
"max_score": 1,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "index_test",
"_type": "type_test",
"_id": "123",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
"name": "Full Test",
"location": "local"
}
}
]
}
}
