Update all fields containing specific string in field name by painless script

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi, I have a pretty simple request but I don't manage to get it working. I need to increase a datetime of multiple fields in one document. The date fields can be nested fields at different levels. Instead of having to update every single field specifically I wanted to update all fields containing "Date" in the field name. I tried it like this (with _update_by_query):

{

  "script": {

    "source": "def df = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME; Iterator it = ctx.entrySet().iterator(); while (it.hasNext()) { if (it.next().getKey().contains(\"Date\") && it.next().getValue() != null) { def tmp = OffsetDateTime.parse(it.next().getValue(),df); it.next().getValue()=tmp.plusDays(1);}}",

    "lang": "painless"

  }

}

But it does not work (giving error message "Left-hand side cannot be assigned a value."). Can anyone tell me how it could work or if it even yould work?

Thanks in advance
