Hi all, As the subject states, is that possible? I'm sending json documents with various fields like a, b, c, fields.a, fields.b, fields.c, d. I want to add a rule in template that sets all fields starts with "fields." (or a regex as /fields..\*/ ) as not\_analyzed. Is that possible in elasticsearch as of now? Please note that "fields" is just a field name and it's not a object.

Look into dynamic templates.
