Mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [person] within [contacts] is not allowed

I'm trying to index data with the following mapping:

{
    "settings": {
        "analysis": {
            "normalizer": {
                "lowercase_normalizer": {
                    "type": "custom",
                    "char_filter": [],
                    "filter": [
                        "lowercase"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "mappings": {
        "dynamic": "strict",
        "dynamic_templates": [
            {
                "contact_template_name": {
                    "path_match": "contact.*.name",
                    "mapping": {
                        "type": "text",
                        "similarity": "BM25",
                        "fields": {
                            "raw": {
                                "type": "keyword",
                                "ignore_above": 1024
                            },
                            "raw_lc": {
                                "type": "keyword",
                                "ignore_above": 1024,
                                "normalizer": "lowercase_normalizer"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "contact_template_app": {
                    "path_match": "contact.*.app",
                    "mapping": {
                        "type": "keyword",
                        "ignore_above": 1024
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "contact_template_id": {
                    "path_match": "contact.*.id",
                    "mapping": {
                        "type": "long"
                    }
                }
            }
        ],
        "properties": {
            "contact": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {}
            }
        }
    }
}

And trying to index following document.

{
    "contact": {
        "europa243k": [
            {
                "name": "block",
                "app": "ss2",
                "id": "1220"
            }
        ],
        "nyrosx4": [
            {
                "name": "oqpe",
                "app": "xy",
                "id": "218588"
            }
        ],
        "pkoris": [
            {
                "name": "tepo",
                "app": "nyto",
                "id": "218595"
            }
        ]
    }
}

But I'm getting this error:

{
    "error": {
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "type": "strict_dynamic_mapping_exception",
                "reason": "[3:23] mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [europa243k] within [contact] is not allowed"
            }
        ],
        "type": "strict_dynamic_mapping_exception",
        "reason": "[3:23] mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [europa243k] within [contact] is not allowed"
    },
    "status": 400
}

I want to maintain this strict mode: "dynamic": "strict"

Anyone?

If I'm not wrong you need to set dynamic: true on the contact object.

This way you have dynamic: strict for top-level fields but allows dynamic fields on the contact object.
