+You can also use a <<modules-scripting-painless,Painless script>> to retrieve
+values from sub-fields of flattened fields. Instead of including
+`doc['<field_name>'].value` in your Painless script, use
+`doc['<field_name>.<sub-field_name>'].value`. For example, if you have a
+flattened field called `label` with a `release` sub-field, your Painless script
+would be `doc['labels.release'].value`.
+
+For example, let's say your mapping contains two fields, one of which is of the
+`flattened` type:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+PUT my-index-000001
+{
+  "mappings": {
+    "properties": {
+      "title": {
+        "type": "text"
+      },
+      "labels": {
+        "type": "flattened"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+----
+
+Index a few documents containing your mapped fields. The `labels` field has
+three sub-fields:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+POST /my-index-000001/_bulk?refresh
+{"index":{}}
+{"title":"Something really urgent","labels":{"priority":"urgent","release":["v1.2.5","v1.3.0"],"timestamp":{"created":1541458026,"closed":1541457010}}}
+{"index":{}}
+{"title":"Somewhat less urgent","labels":{"priority":"high","release":["v1.3.0"],"timestamp":{"created":1541458026,"closed":1541457010}}}
+{"index":{}}
+{"title":"Not urgent","labels":{"priority":"low","release":["v1.2.0"],"timestamp":{"created":1541458026,"closed":1541457010}}}
+----
+// TEST[continued]
+
+Because `labels` is a `flattened` field type, the entire object is mapped as a
+single field. To retrieve values from this sub-field in a Painless script, use
+the `doc['<field_name>.<sub-field_name>'].value` format. 
+
+[source,painless]
+----
+"script": {
+  "source": """
+    if (doc['labels.release'].value.equals('v1.3.0'))
+    {emit(doc['labels.release'].value)}
+    else{emit('Version mismatch')}
+  """
