I am trying to compare values with already data already indexed with some user input values
through script processor,
script is running successfully but its not creating a new field which actually stores the result.
```auto
{
"script": {
"source": """
if (!ctx.containsKey('manager-list.keyword') || ctx['manager-list.keyword'].size() == 0) {
return;
}
if (ctx.containsKey('manager-list.keyword')) {
def managerName = ctx['manager-list.keyword'].value;
def givenValues = ['xyz@gmail.com', 'yyy@gmail.com'];
for (String value : givenValues) {
if (managerName == value) {
ctx.result = value;
break;
}
}
}
""",
"lang": "painless"
}
}
```
I want to store the output in a field so I guess result variable would be added as new field but it's not working.
After that I am running update\_by\_query to update the data. but no success
could you please check.
