SharePoint provisioning with script; crawled property question (only available after item in list?)

I want to do a scripted site-collection provisioning. So I create everything by script, like: - Managed metadata - Crawled properties - Managed properties - Content types - Lists - Etc ...

    HI Mike Jansen,

     

    Yes that is right. As a workaround I quite often provisioned a test list with al of my columns included and then create one list item through my provisioning scripts.

    Hi Pieter Veenstra,

    That's a quick answer ;-) Thanks.

    In case of SharePoint online, you wait for 24 hours so the crawl ran?

      Hi Mike Jansen,

      Continuous crawl seems to do the job, sometimes it would fail though. Then forcing the updated crawls by going to the list's advanced settings and force the re-index works.

        I try to script the whole provisioning so want to avoid any manual actions. Maybe I can script the re-index. I'll do some testing.
