* You cannot copy recursively via intermediary fields such as a `copy_to` on

`field_1` to `field_2` and `copy_to` on `field_2` to `field_3` expecting

indexing into `field_1` will eventuate in `field_3`, instead use copy_to

+* If the target field does not exist in the index mappings, the usual

+<<dynamic,`dynamic`>> set to `true`, a non-existent target field will be

+dynamically added to the index mappings. If `dynamic` is set to `false`, the

+copied. If `dynamic` is set to `strict`, copying to a non-existent field will
