Hi. I updated the description for the dynamic: false setting in the "Define explicit mapping" section of the Elasticsearch documentation.
Previously, the documentation stated:
This was misleading. In reality, when dynamic is set to false, fields not defined in the mapping are saved in the document but are not indexed or searchable. The document is still accepted.
The updated description now reads:
This change aligns the documentation with Elasticsearch's actual behavior and clarifies the difference between false and strict values. If the intent is to reject documents that contain unmapped fields, the dynamic: strict setting should be used instead.
