Similar to [this issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/issue-upgrading-elasticsearch-cloud-from-5-6-to-6-0/157117), I cannot set the suggested `script.allowed_types` setting. I am using Elastic Cloud and have tried disabling Disable inline/file/stored script and Enabling sandboxed inline/file/stored scripts. None of these options seem to work, as the Cluster Checkup upgrade assistant still complains that various `script.*` settings are enabled. What is the suggested approach for handling this upgrade?

Given you are using Elastic Cloud, did you try asking the Elastic Support team?

I just got a reply from the support team that I should be good to go as long as I have the default sandbox inline scripts enabled and can ignore the upgrade warning message. I figured since the other threads here did not have a resolution it would be good to ask in a public place for others who may encounter the same thing.
