Hi all,

I am looking to update just one field value in document,

```auto
http://host:9200/index/_update/id

{
	 "script" : "ctx._source.Surname = 'ag'"
}

```

this does the job for updating one field, but how to replace multiple fields , using update api.

Regards,  
Mohan

</div>

Would that work?

```
ctx._source.Surname = 'ag'; ctx._source.Lastname = 'ag'
```
