Elasticsearch: Updating Nested Object via script

Question

I am using ES1.4.4 and wanted to run an update script with the Update API that iterated over a ctx._source.nested_object and updated only the nested objects that fulfilled the requirements of the script. It seems relatively very simple but for some reason I am not getting an update.

script : 'for(i in ctx._source.nested_object){ if(ctx._source.nested_object[i].user.id == id){ ctx._source.nested_object[i].user = merge }  }',
params : { "id" : "SEL123" , "merge" : { "key1" : "value1" } }

All the fields that are being added/set to the new object match the field types of the existing source. Scripts are enabled in my cluster instance. The script language is Groovy.

Try the script:

for(i in ctx._source.nested_object){ 
    if (i.user.id == id) { 
        i.user = merge
    } 
}
