+== Configuring source mode in mappings is deprecated and replaced by an index setting
+
+Index <<mapping-source-field,source>> mode was previously configured in mappings as follows:
+
+[source,js]
+----
+"mappings": {
+    "source": {
+        "mode": "synthetic"
+    },
+    "foo": {
+        "type": "keyword"
+    },
+    "bar": {
+        "type": "keyword"
+    }
+}
+----
+// NOTCONSOLE
+
+Starting with version 8.18, this method for configuring the source mode is considered
+deprecated and replaced by index setting `index.mapping.source.mode` that accepts the
+same values: `stored`, `synthetic` and `disabled`. The index setting can be
+used as follows:
+
+[source,js]
+----
+"settings": {
+    "index.mapping.source.mode": "synthetic"
+}
+"mappings": {
+    "foo": {
+        "type": "keyword"
+    },
+    "bar": {
+        "type": "keyword"
+    }
+}
+----
+// NOTCONSOLE
+
+Existing indexes using the deprecated method for configuring the source mode are not
+affected, but creating new indexes raises warnings and will not be supported in a future
+release. This can be an issue for data streams and other indexes that get regularly
+generated using component templates. To avoid these problems, identify all affected
+component templates, as shown in the <<migration-api-deprecation,deprecation info API>>,
+and update them to use setting `index.mapping.source.mode` instead of
+`mappings.source.mode`, according to the examples above.
