Setting enabled to true Elasticsearch

I'm new to elasticsearch. I have an index type as follows

{
    "myindex" : {
        "mappings" : {
            "systemChanges" : {
                "_all" : {
                    "enabled" : false
                },
                "properties" : {
                    "autoChange" : {
                        "type" : "boolean"
                    },
                    "changed" : {
                        "type" : "object",
                        "enabled" : false
                     },
                    "created" : {
                        "type" : "date",
                        "format" : "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I'm unable to fetch the details having changed.new = completed. After some research i have found that it's because the changed field is set to enabled : false. and I need to change the same. I tried as follows

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/myindex/" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' {
    "mappings": {
        "systemChanges" : {
            "properties" : {
                "changed" : {
                    "enabled" : true
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'

But I'm getting error as following.

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"index_already_exists_exception","reason":"already exists","index":"myindex"}],"type":"index_already_exists_exception","reason":"already exists","index":"myindex"},"status":400}

How can I change the enabled to true in order to fetch the details of the changed.new field?

you are trying to add an index again with the same name and hence the error.

See the below link for updating a mapping

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html

The enabled setting can be updated on existing fields using the PUT mapping API.
