dynamic fields(which are not part of mapping) appear in kibana

I am setting up ELK stack to monitor logs, and am using dynamic mapping to control created fields.

"mappings": {
  "applicationlogs": {
    "dynamic":  false,
...

use case : I should be able to see the fields in Kibana which I have defined in mapping, and the rest of the fields should not be seen in Kibana fields section.

Kibana mapping is created independently of the Elasticsearch mapping, and the history is taken from the accessible indices. Kibana will show any field existing in an old or new index.
