Search Schema Issue : Alias name ( RefinableString) doesnt work in HighLighted Content WP
I am filtering data in Highlighted Content WP using Manged Meta Data Column.
The name of column is Page Category
Now in order to filter data in Highlighted Content WP, we need to define a manged property in Search Scheme.
I am using RefinableString00 to map the Page Category column to it.I have given an alias name to it called "PageCategory"
Now, when i use it in Highlighted Content WP , I need to use RefinableString00 (I cant see alias name) :-(

It becomes difficult if you have many RefinableString and confusing right ?

Yes, But this has always been the way for SharePoint.
The search Schema creates confusing names, which are hard for end users.
But that is why there is SharePoint experts right :). Just add it to a governance/solution document to remind yourself later what it is doing.
Agreed, then this behavior should be common across which is not in my case.
In one site I can use alias, and in other site it doesn't work.
This is strange behavior , i mean its inconsistent
Site 1
Site 2
In site 2 i need to use RefinableString 00 and in site 1 i can use PageCategory
Strange
