Wonderful - thanks Hoss. I had only one default updateRequestProcessorChain but yes as I started with the data_driven_schema_configs configset, and modified that to include my new updateRequestProcessorChain, it's not used because; <initParams path="/update/**"> was forcing "add-unknown-fields-to-the-schema" updateRequestProcessorChain to be used - I had to comment this and update my default with desired processors.
Lots of lessons from this response. Thanks!
