Hi Jyeh,

Please read the following thread: [Customize watch and/or watch\_history index template](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/customize-watch-and-or-watch-history-index-template/28539)

In short, no.. it's not possible to change the mapping as it can cause mapping conflicts between different executions.
