Problem creating a template 7.5

Hi, when I try to create an index template I get this error, I have checked multiple times and seems to be all ok.

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "parse_exception",
        "reason": "unknown key [mapping] in the template "
      }
    ],
    "type": "parse_exception",
    "reason": "unknown key [mapping] in the template "
  },
  "status": 400
}

this is my template

          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

I think the doc says to use mappings.
