Missing support for {dynamic_type}

Problem description

The API seems to be missing support for {dynamic_type} (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html#template-variables)

In DynamicTemplate.Builder, I can't find any way to specify a mapping using {dynamic_type}. (Property.Kind has no corresponding value.)

This Issue seems to have been resolved earlier in #142 but I'm still not able to find this dynamic type in the latest versions.

Any update on this issue? We can't upgrade to the latest version because of this.

There was a bug in the API specification update, where we incorrectly used {dynamic_property} instead of {dynamic_type}. We've reopened elastic/elasticsearch-specification#1558.

In the meantime, a custom property can be used as a workaround (using JsonData is not mandatory, any object that will be serialized to a valid dynamic property definition will work):

Property dynamicProperty = Property.of(p -> p
	._custom("{dynamic_type}", JsonData.fromJson(
		"{\"type\":\"{dynamic_type}\", ...}"
	))
);
