Highlighted content web part not filtering on refinablestrings
It's probably because the managed property needs to be 'searchable'. Refinablestrings aren't searchable and you can't edit them to be searchable. I had to create a new managed property from scratch and set it as 'searchable'.
- Henk PrinsSep 06, 2018Brass ContributorHello Theresa, i was wondering if this is working. I'm having the same issue, tried to edit the Managed Property RefinableString00 but this is not possible. So i made a new Managed Property in which I added the custom property, and made it searchable about 12 hours ago. But I still can not find the managed property when i try to make a filter in the Higlighted Content. Perhaps you do have a suggestion?

Yes, I got this working. However, the interface behaves a bit confusingly and took me a couple of minutes to work out what was going on - so perhaps you're having the same issue?
When I type in the name of the managed property into the 'Find my managed property' field, no options pop-up/appear like I would expect. However the 'Managed Property Name' section expands below this field, and the first field is blank - if you expand it, this is where you will see the managed properties search results - hopefully the one you created will be there.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be going on in your situation.
- Henk PrinsSep 10, 2018Brass ContributorHi Theresa, still don't see the option: but i did'nt have all the options 'Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable' checked. Just did, guess i'll have to wait for a few hours again. Thnx for responding! henk.

Hi I also created a new Managed Property of "Text" type "Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable" and mapped it to a list column however I can not view it in "Managed property name" in Highlighted content webpart.
I created it yesterday evening and I dont think its time issue.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
- Henk PrinsSep 07, 2018Brass ContributorNo, it isn't a time-issue for i still can't choose the new managed property after 2 days. Also: i made a new managed property, but am not able to edit this. Is this like it should work?
