Hi All,  
I am facing a problem.How to do mapping of making a object of nested  
type.I\* only wants itemResults object of nested type.\*

my document structure is -

{  
"\_id": "inspectionresults-07d864fd-76ec-427a-a1c6-b70e420ce3d8",  
"\_rev": "12-64c44ddcfcd477dfa86cdb9d3c659748",  
"sectionResults": [

```
   {
       "SectionName": "More Details",
       "itemResults": [
           
           {
               "InspectionItem": "Launch Month",
               "ItemInfo": ""
               
           }
       ]
   }

```

]  
}

and my query is -  
PUT realtek\_release\_v6\_nestedsearch/\_mapping  
{  
"realtek\_release\_v6\_nestedsearch":{  
"properties": {  
"sectionResults":{  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"itemResults":{  
"type": "nested"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

type"
