Communication Site - Highlighted Content > Pages > Managed Property Empty
The Site Columns you created, can they be choice? or do they NEED to be managed metadata. I am not seeing them as well in my dropdown, probably need for search index to complete...thanks

If you make them Choice columns, you will need to map them to an existing managed property. If you use managed metadata, you won't need to do that.

Thanks. I must be missing something...
I created a 1) Site Choice Column, 2) a Site Managed Metadata column, as well as a 3) choice column to the Site Pages list and I have a grayed out Managed Property Name (same as Tyler Bankston) when I tried to filter by Managed Property in the Highlighted Content webpart. I waited 6 hours, so I don't think its due to the site not being crawled/indexed...
If I go to Site Settings > Site Collection Admin > Search Schema, I cannot find the any of the columns I created to 'map them to an available managed property in the search schema'.
I also did the following:
- add values to those columns in the Site Pages
- went into the List Settings > advanced settings > re-index this list
- The pages are published
- I am a site collection administrator
Do I need to use new content types? Can I just use the Page Content type?
I followed the ppt slide pages 41-44 to try to map any of the columns I created, but cannot see them when I go to the Search Schema page.

FYI. I just saw another thread regarding the issues related to search which is currently being investigated by MS team. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Problem-searching-new-pages-within-SPO-SP141856-Can-we-get-an/m-p/205775#M18868
