Updating mapping dynamic false -> dynamic strict unexpected behaviour

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi List,

I'm trying to update a mapping for one of my types using the put mapping
API [1]

Precisely I'd like to set for some objects the "dynamic" property changing
it from false to strict

I'm executing the following

curl -X PUT 'http://localhost:9200/my_index'

curl -X PUT -d
'{"my_type":{"dynamic":"false","properties":{"fields":{"type":"string"}}}}'
'http://localhost:9200/my_index/my_type/_mapping'

curl -X PUT -d
'{"my_type":{"dynamic":"strict","properties":{"fields":{"type":"string"}}}}'
'http://localhost:9200/my_index/my_type/_mapping'

but at the end when I check the resulting mapping

curl 'http://localhost:9200/my_index/my_type/_mapping'

{"my_type":{"dynamic":"false","properties":{"fields":{"type":"string"}}}

I would expect to see the dynamic attribute changed to strict, what am I
doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey,

is it possible, that you are hitting this issue

Setting the dynamic setting during runtime will be possible in the next
version.
