I know the naming convention is bad, still, this is a valid JSON request, not sure why it doesn't allow it.
This error is telling you that you don't have a mapping for the property value within your value object property. The below example would property set the value.value property within your mytest index:
PUT mytest
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"value": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"value": {
"type": "text"
However, I don't think that's what your intention was. As a best practice, try following the Elastic Common Schema (ECS) for naming your index properties.
