I my watcher I collect a record from the rest interface, retrieve a nice Json. But in the index part of the watcher it adds \_value to the index: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/d/0d14cd2c2a43e6940e5f8379f3f7b70e8cd5ea24.png) This means all fields in the index get "\_value." before there name. Does anybody know how to remove the \_value ? KR Henk ---

You can tranform payload using a painless script Refer to this link > **[Watcher script payload transform | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.1\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transform-script.html)** ---
