Hm, try using the migration assistant here. Your data came from somewhere else, maybe an import from another version. When you import saved objects, you can not just save the JSON directly to Elasticsearch. See [Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [visualization, doc]" error](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rejecting-mapping-update-to-kibana-as-the-final-mapping-would-have-more-than-1-type-visualization-doc-error/133557/8?u=tsullivan)
