Update_By_Query in elasticsearch_dsl matches <field> but doesn't match <object>.<field>

[brunofl]

I managed to do an update_by_query script with elasticsearch_dsl.

response = ubq.script(source="pm_data_source.hw_alias' = params.new_ap_name",lang="painless",params={"new_ap_name": new_ap})\
        .query("match", pm_data_source.hw_alias = old_ap ).execute()

Current problem is: in the query() I am unable to match fields inside an object. Do you happen to know how to do this?

Solved with the following:

update = ubq.script(source="ctx._source.object_name.field_name = params.new_ap_name; ctx._source.radio.Accesspoint_name = params.new_ap_name; ",
         lang="painless",
         params={ "new_ap_name": "new_field_value"  }).update_from_dict({
                    "query": {
                           "bool": {
                                  "must": [
                                         {   "match": {  "object_name.field_name": "new_field_value" } },
                                         {   "match": { "account_name": "Filters documents of specific customer" } }
                                   ]
                            }
                         }
}).params(request_timeout=3600).params(wait_for_completion=False).params(wait_for_active_shards=1).params(refresh=True)
response = update.execute()

The old and new field values can be provided by your python script.
hope this helps
