OK, I have two fields defined as follows: <field name="name" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="name2" type="string_ci" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false" />
and this copyField directive <copyField source="name" dest="name2"/> I updated the Index using SolrJ and got the exact same error message that is in the subject. However, while waiting for feedback I built a workaround at the application level and now reconstructing the original state, to be able to answer you, I have different behaviour. What happens now is that the field "name2" is populated with multiple values although it is not defined as multiValued (see above). Although this is strange, it is consistent with the earlier problem in that copyField does not seem to overwrite the existing field values. I may be using it incorrectly (it's the first time I am using copyField) but the docs in the wiki did not say anything about an overwrite option.
