Highlighted content web part filters

When you try to filter by Managed property in the Highlighted contents web parts. you get the folowing Find managed property. This is most likley added as the drop down is unusable as is it populated with too many values.

 

If you try to find a managed property by searching for RefinableString107. Then select the for RefinableString107 option as it is the only option left in the drop down. Then this all works fine. If however you now decide to select for RefinableString108 you will  find that you can't get to the full list of the drop down any more. Even is you now search for for RefinableString108 the drop down is not populated with the expected value.

 

It looks like the orginal search value is kept.

 

The only way I've found so far is publish the pages and then edit it again and the full list of drop down values is available.

 

  • Pieter Veenstra - thanks for reporting this issue.

     

    Can you help me with a little more information?

     

    In trying to repro this internally (using Chrome), I can't repro. Even usuing the specific values you listed.

     

    and then

     

    I did my test in our eDog environment, so potentially I have newer bits than you, but that means it's already fixed too :)

      Hi Pieter, John,

       

      I was wondering if you could help me out. I do not seem to get any values in the dropdown, irrespective of the browser (Chrome/IE). If I enter a value in the "Find a managed property" box, nothing happens and the "Managed property name" box remains greyed out. Is this something that happened to you before? Any guidance how I could get around this?

       

      Thanks in advance for your support.

       

      Regards,
