How can I add or delete elements from an array without having to query the document to update them programmatically (modifying the queried document to update the array with a back-end language)?
The documentation does not show how to update arrays inside the box.
[Documents API | Elastic App Search Documentation [8.4] | Elastic](https://Update Documents)
Hey Lautaro! You're correct that we don't have any APIs specifically for pushing onto existing arrays. You do need to first GET the document/field that you want to update & modify it manually or on your own server before updating/PATCHing the document.
Apologies I couldn't be more helpful - I can definitely bring this feedback to the team if there's more demand for tools and helpers for working with more complex types!
