Hi,

Is there a way to override the settings after you have done the CSV import ?  
This document shows you how to do it before you do the import, [https://www.elastic.co/blog/importing-csv-and-log-data-into-elasticsearch-with-file-data-visualizer](https://www.elastic.co/blog/importing-csv-and-log-data-into-elasticsearch-with-file-data-visualizer).

I have imported a whole lot of files but the date column is not seen as a date so hoping to find an easy fix.

Thanks,

You need to reindex as you need to create a new index for that.

Thanks, looks like I will have to remove all the csv/indexes and reload them.
