Logstash Template Format For Adding Multiple Fields of the Same Type

[scott_stash]

My template file is becoming very large as I have had to add a lot of fields to it of Long and Text, so I have the following in the file over and over again: (for text and long types)

        "server": {
            "type": "text",
            "norms": false,
            "fields": {
                "keyword": {
                    "type": "keyword",
                    "ignore_above": 10000
                }
            }
        },

Is there a way to just define my text definition once.. For instance I see something like this in some examples:

"string_fields": {

** "match": "*",
** "match_mapping_type": "string",
** "mapping": {
** "type": "text",
** "norms": false,
** "fields": {
** "keyword": {
** "type": "keyword",
** "ignore_above": 10000
** }
** }
** }
** }

Something like match_fields, and list all the fields here.
