I made an update by query and my field `props.eventTypeTraduction`, however the `props.eventTypeTraductio.keyword` with the old value still exists. If you execute a query with the old value it still keeps bringing the records. How do I update the `props.eventTypeTraductio.keyword`?

I executed:  
`POST /dash_raw_measurement_discarded/_update_by_query { "query": { "term": { "props.eventTypeTraduction.keyword": { "value": "Jitter (SCM7)" } } }, "script": { "inline": "ctx._source[params.field] = params.value;", "params": { "field": "props.eventTypeTraduction", "value": "Jitter" } } }`

But when I look for the old value, it still exists in the keyword.  
`GET /dash_raw_measurement_discarded/_search { "query": { "term": { "props.eventTypeTraduction.keyword": { "value": "Jitter (SCM7)" } } } }`  
Result:  
`{ "took": 3, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 31080, "max_score": 0.8503687,`
