RefinableStrings managed properties are assigned to crawl properties only at the site level
I accessed the managed properties at a site level scope inside SharePoint online, and I found some refinable strings assign to crawl properties, but when I accessed the same refinable strings at the tenant level i found that those managed properties do not have crawl properties assign to them, here is a example for RefinableString06:-
- Site level
- Tenant Level
Also the confusing issue is that inside the UI the ability to assign crawl properties to those managed properties are disabled on the site level, so how those got assigned?

tenant level properties are for the whole tenant, you can use this properties on every site, site level properties are restricted for this site.
DaveMehr365 but if the same RefinableString has different values on the tenant level and on the site level, which one will take place?
Thanks
Hello johnjohn-Peter

I don't know why this can no longer be done at site level. Perhaps it's a change by Microsoft or a temporary problem. However, I think it's a good thing, as properties should be configured centrally at tenant level.
Best, Dave
