have malformed fields by using `exist` or `term` queries on the special
<<mapping-ignored-field,`_ignored`>> field.

==== Limits for JSON Objects
You can't use `ignore_malformed` with the following datatypes:

* <<nested, Nested datatype>>
* <<object, Object datatype>>
* <<range, Range datatypes>>

You also can't use `ignore_malformed` to ignore JSON objects submitted to fields
of the wrong datatype. A JSON object is any data surrounded by curly brackets
`"{}"` and includes data mapped to the nested, object, and range datatypes.

If you submit a JSON object to an unsupported field, {es} will return an error
and reject the entire document regardless of the `ignore_malformed` setting.
