Welcome! Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable. Instead, paste the text and format it with `` icon or pairs of triple backticks (```), and check the preview window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it more likely that your question will receive a useful answer. It would be great if you could update your post to solve this. Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible. A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/index-mapping-issue-getting-error-reason-object-mapping-locations-cant-be-changed-from-nested-to-non-nested/227938)._
