Re: copy_to not working

Yes _but_ its generally better to do those transforms on the source application. The idea is that you'll often want to return multiple things from the source so loading the whole thing is usually better than loading a bunch of stored fields. If your looking for the minimal possible amount of work

Re: copy_to not working

I want to expand on this a bit - both copy_to and transform only modify the _indexed_ document, not the source document. The thinking is that you can modify the source document yourself in the source application but the source application _can't_ modify the indexed document without modifying the so
