I tried to run a query on a recently updated 7.16.3 environment and got the following error ""field expansion matches too many fields, limit: 1024, got: 1328". I then went to set indices.query.bool.max\_clause\_count to 2048 in my configmap file.  
##########

- apiVersion: v1  
data:  
elasticsearch.yml: |  
indices.query.bool.max\_clause\_count: 2048  
kind: ConfigMap  
########

I applied the new configmap to my nodes they and the /opt/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml file on mypods was updated

#### 

$ view /opt/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml  
indices.query.bool.max\_clause\_count: 2048  
#########

However if I do a "GET /\_cluster/settings/?include\_defaults" from Kibana or a "curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings/?include\_defaults](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings/?include_defaults)" from one of my nodes It still shows that my "max\_clause\_count" is at 1024

#### 

"max\_clause\_count" : "1024"

#### 

Do any of you have any ideas on how to change this setting or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
