Description

Before the integration of the bleve-mapping-ui, users were given a raw <textarea> where they could edit the index's params JSON, including all the advanced fields (like changing storage backends).

That advanced "you-know-what-you're-doing" ability was lost as cbft picked up the bleve-mapping-ui.

The workaround, of course, is to use curl, but that's not a great answer.

Research direction

Start by locating the web UI integration of bleve-mapping-ui and the current index parameter editing flow. Restore a raw textarea or equivalent for the index params JSON, including advanced fields such as storage backends, and verify that users can directly edit the configuration again.
