I'm trying to verify if a template is getting applied to my index. I have my template to set certain fields to be non-analyzed, but the \_mapping api doesn't show if it is or not.
Here is my template when I do a GET \_tempate/sales\*
```
{
"sales_template": {
"order": 0,
"template": "sales_*",
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_shards": "5",
"number_of_replicas": "1"
}
},
"mappings": {
"sales": {
"_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"total_sale_amount": {
"type": "double"
},
"location": {
"index": "not_analyzed",
"type": "text"
}
}
}
},
"aliases": {}
}
}
```
GET sales\_20/\_mapping
```
{
"sales_20": {
"mappings": {
"weekly_sales": {
"_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "text"
},
"total_sale_amount": {
"type": "double"
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
I feel that when I get the mapping for the index it should say the location is non\_analyzed.

Thanks Clinton, I just updated my question with some of the results I was getting.

Hi @JonathanAaron
analyzed/not\_analyzed is only relevant to the old `string` fields. `text` fields are all analyzed. `keyword` fields are not analyzed.
i'm surprised that you didn't get an exception when that field was created, but it is probably some of the bwc layer between string/text/keyword that ended up just ignoring the not\_analyzed.
summary: use `keyword` instead of `text` for that field
