Hi,

I am using below script for getting scripted fields and also in aggregation. and it works fine, but I was wondering if there is some other better way of doing this.

"script\_fields": {  
"CustomColumn1": {  
"script": " (( ((params.\_source['productDescription'].toLowerCase().indexOf('chain') \> -1)) )) ? ('ChainQuantity') : (( ((params.\_source['productDescription'].toLowerCase().indexOf('ribbon') \> -1)) )) ? ('Ribbon\_QTY') : 'blank'"  
}  
}

Please suggest
