Hi I'm working on a RAG project and i'm using elastic-search to search for relevant documents and index it, upon trying to move the documents from the initial upload index into a new index with reference pipeline , I'm getting the following error "Input field [text\_field] does not exist in the source" I've tried a few changes to the field map in the pipeline and i'm still getting the same error. Any suggestions?
