Hi there, I found this similar thread from awhile back: [Changing all array elements in scripted field](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/changing-all-array-elements-in-scripted-field/82246)

In that thread, the author uses the "values" property to retrieve all of the values in the array. So in your example, it would be:

```auto
def roles = doc["author.roles.name.keyword"].values

```

Can you try this and let me know if it works for you?

Thanks,  
CJ
