Mapping definition for has unsupported parameters: [dynamic : true] - elasticsearch

Question

I have been trying to make one of the fields being indexed to be dynamic and also changed the elasticsearch.yml for the same by adding
index.mapper.dynamic: false
in the end and also restarted elasticsearch and kibana sense. Also tried with different fields and index names but I am still getting the same error :
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Mapping definition for [albumdetailid] has unsupported parameters: [dynamic : true]"
}
],
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Failed to parse mapping [package]: Mapping definition for [albumdetailid] has unsupported parameters: [dynamic : true]",
"caused_by": {
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Mapping definition for [albumdetailid] has unsupported parameters: [dynamic : true]"
}
},
"status": 400
}
the code for adding index is below :

....
Look at the second last line where I mention "dynamic" : true

Answer 1

This happens because you are trying to set "dynamic: true" on a field ("albumdetailid") of type string! This make no sense! no new fields can be created under a "string" field. The "dynamic" parameter should be set under an "object" field. so Either define "albumdetailid" as "object" or put the "dynamic: true" one level higher - under "packagealbum" like this:
"packagealbum" : {
"include_in_all" : false,
"dynamic": true,
"properties" : {
"albumdetailid" : {
"type" : "string",
"include_in_all" : false
},
....
