You need to delete the index (which removes existing data) and create the index again with the right mapping.  
Have a look at [Numeric field types | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/number.html)

Is it possible that we no longer have an intervention solution to edit the existing index field?

You might be able to do something by creating a runtime field but it's not ideal as this will be harder and slower.
