Hello! I need to update a field of several records already indexed based on a value from a new record still not indexed? Is there any way to implement it?

Thanks

Marcelo

Have you looked into using the [update by query API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/docs-update-by-query.html)?

Hi Christian, thank you for the reply. I went there, but honestly, I had not clue to solve this scenario.

This table below describes my index with current docs. The yellow line would be a new doc arriving.

RULE: As far the latest entry is received (NEW "not indexed entry") with STATE=OFF, all respective entries of Group 1 (FROM EXISTING INDEX) must be set COLOR=RED

Could you please let me know any example how to implement?
