Hello i'am using the logstash translate filter, but substitution on same source field is not working.
For example i want to change color in product\_name\_search from "Iphone black" to "iphone zwart"
When i use this snippet nothing happens and product\_name\_search is still "iphone black"
```
translate {
field => "product_name_search"
destination => "product_name_search"
exact => false
dictionary => "/usr/share/logstash/colors.yml"
}
```
When i translate to another destination field it is working, thus:
```
translate {
field => "product_name_search"
destination => "product_name_color_changed"
exact => false
dictionary => "/usr/share/logstash/colors.yml"
}
```
And now in the destination field is "iphone zwart", the result i want but in the product\_name\_color\_changed field instead of the product\_name\_search field.
Do i miss something or is this a bug?

You missed something. Add
```
override => true
```
to the filter options.
