Mapped ip with type "ip" but getting mapping parsing error

[IanCap (Ian Ducrot)]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to fix the following error :

index [log-2020-05-04], type [_doc], id [someid], message [ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=mapper_parsing_exception, reason=object mapping for [ClientIP] tried to parse field [ClientIP] as object, but found a concrete value]]]

I noticed the ip had a "keyword" type. After some research i noticed all IPV6 addresses caused the issue, so i changed the ip field type to "ip" after following this link
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ip.html

In modified the indexes tempates to match this - see at the bottom:

      "log-*"

                     "type": "ip"
                  },

The new index i'm currently pushing the log files in have the correct mapping but i still get the error i gave at the beginning.

Any help would be much appreciated, if needed i'll give more informations regarding configurations,
