Hello,

I have [1] in my schema. But when I look at \_mappings, it is showing as [2]. Why those extra added? Is it expected? How to stop this change?

[1]

```
"banner_image": {
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "keyword"
    }
  }
}

```

[2]

```
    "banner_image": {
      "properties": {
        "id": {
          "type": "text",
          "fields": {
            "keyword": {
              "type": "keyword",
              "ignore_above": 256
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

```

Thanks  
Srini
