Recently I've changed type of the field from text to long and now I see in documents in Kibana that this field is "conflicting". How Can I solve this?

Kibana v 8.1.0

Remove the old documents have "text" format and re-insert documents with proper new mapping of "long".

Don't forget to refresh index pattern.
