Hi

We want to update multi field type field using ingest node script processor.  
For example -  
PUT /test\_index  
{  
"mappings": {  
"blogpost": {  
"properties": {  
"comments": {  
"type": "nested",  
"properties": {  
"name":  
{  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"converted": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
}  
}  
}

```
      }
    }
  }
}

```

}  
}

Script :  
PUT \_ingest/pipeline/test-pipeline  
{  
"processors" : [  
{  
"dot\_expander": {  
"field": "[comments.name](http://comments.name)"  
}  
},  
{"script": {  
"lang": "painless",  
"inline": "ctx.comments.name.converted = "test""  
}}  
]  
}

We have tried various modifications in above script like use of doc[],\_source, expand dot processor etc but no luck so far.  
Can any one just confirm whether its possible or not , to update multi field inner value using script processor.

Thanks,  
Neeraj.
