Hi everyone,

as title says, i'm trying to use the disable dynamic mapping setting. I able to disable dynamic mapping for a index that i want, before this index is created.

Then, i've used the command

**curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9220/anime/\_mapping/Anime](http://localhost:9220/anime/_mapping/Anime)' -d '@/home/giuseppe/Scrivania/StdKibi/Anime.mapping'**

and i created the mapping. In fact, if i check mapping with

**curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9220/anime?pretty](http://localhost:9220/anime?pretty)'**

the answer is:

```
    { "anime" : {
        "aliases" : { },
        "mappings" : {
     "Anime" : {
        "properties" : {
             "name" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "index" : "not_analyzed"
                          }
                         }
             }
         },
          "settings" : {
             "index" : {
               "mapper" : {
                   "dynamic" : "false"
                        },
         "creation_date" : "1494235621018",
         "number_of_shards" : "5",
         "number_of_replicas" : "1",
         "uuid" : "tEZF5w71S2i5z9erXtKF8Q",
         "version" : {
                   "created" : "2040499"
        }
      }
   },
"warmers" : { }}}

```

Now, when i try to put my document, i get this error:  
**"type":"illegal\_state\_exception","reason":"trying to auto create mapping, but dynamic mapping is disabled"**

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!
