Hey, I am using Kibana's API to create index-patterns. So, I want to know that **is there a way to create a index-pattern and at that time only, make it the default index-pattern?** Basically, I want to do both the tasks with one single request. I searched the web but didn't find any solution for my requirement. Any help would be appreciated.
