Set popularity count for field foo:
$ curl -X POST api/index_patterns/index-pattern/my-pattern/fields
{
"fields": {
"foo": {
"count": 123
}
}
}
Update multiple metadata fields in one request:
$ curl -X POST api/index_patterns/index-pattern/my-pattern/fields
{
"fields": {
"foo": {
"count": 123,
"customLabel": "Foo"
},
"bar": {
"customLabel": "Bar"
}
}
}
Use null value to delete metadata:
$ curl -X POST api/index_patterns/index-pattern/my-pattern/fields
{
"fields": {
"foo": {
"customLabel": null
}
}
}
The endpoint returns the updated index pattern object:
{
"index_pattern": {
}
}
