Yes, this is a regression, definitely my fault. Sorry Alex! The table on SOLR-3798 is missing this case: a glob matching one or more explicit fields (as opposed to dynamic fields).
I've filed a JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4567 On Mar 13, 2013, at 12:20 AM, "Jack Krupansky" <j...@basetechnology.com> wrote: > And, the wiki does not note the decommissioning of a useful feature of > copyField.

I agree - I wrote what I thought would be a good addition to the wiki just above the copyField combinations table on SOLR-3798. But it needs additional verbiage to cover Alex's case. > Reading the table in SOLR-3798 as carefully as I can, it seems to indicate > that your use case is supposed to be supported as case #9, leading me to > conclude that it may simply be a bug that your use case is failing in 4.2. > > 9 subset pattern <field> name <copyField source="*_src_sub_i" > dest="title"/> Yes Yes Alex's case is different from what I call "subset patterns" on SOLR-3798, since that's shorthand for "subset of the language accepted by the pattern for a referenced dynamic field". I'll make a copy of that table and add a case where the source value type can be a glob matching one or more explicit fields. Steve
