Hi Costin, thank you for your reply.

My issue actually came down to the ordering of my matches. I had a
'match:*' as the first dynamic template which disabled norms. Although this
template didn't explicitly define a type for any matched field it would
automatically set the 'date' field to a string type. The "date_" template
would then match but fail to set the type to date as it had already been
defined. Simply reordering my dynamic templates so that the date matcher
came before the catch all solved the issue :)
