Showing document fields as tooltips

Thanks for you reply, it led me to re-look at it. I had two problems.

  1. Nested objects are not shown in tooltips. (I think your mapping would show "type" : "nested" if details was a nested object). So details in your mapping is just an object. (I think)
  2. I was switching back and forth with nested and objects and deleting the Index, and saw no change. However I was not deleting the Index_Pattern! Once I deleted that, recreated the mapping with objects instead of nested, and then recreated the index pattern, all the expected fields began to appear

Thanks for giving me the impetus to sort it. I was well and truely stumped earlier.

However I would says nested objects do not appear as tooltips. Thats my conclusion anyways.....
