…match_only_text by default Backporting elastic#129126 to 8.19 branch. Don't store text and match_only_text field by default when source mode is synthetic and a field is a multi field or when there is a suitable multi field. Without this change, ES would store field otherwise twice in a multi-field configuration. For example: ``` ... "os": { "properties": { "name": { "ignore_above": 1024, "type": "keyword", "fields": { "text": { "type": "match_only_text" } } } ... ``` In this case, two stored fields were added, one in case for the `name` field and one for `name.text` multi-field. This change prevents this, and would never store a stored field when text or match_only_text field is a multi-field.

Backporting #129126 to 8.19 branch.
Don't store text and match_only_text field by default when source mode is synthetic and a field is a multi field or when there is a suitable multi field.
Without this change, ES would store field otherwise twice in a multi-field configuration.
For example:
In this case, two stored fields were added, one in case for the
namefield and one forname.textmulti-field. This change prevents this, and would never store a stored field when text or match_only_text field is a multi-field.
