Missing automatically created managed property for custom choice column
Hi There,
In one of my tenant I am missing automatically created managed property (for e.g. SiteColumnNameOWSCHCS) in SharePoint Online for one my my custom choice column. The column has data and has been crawled and I can find it in crawled properties. If I map to one of the RefinableString properties I can access and display it's values in Search Result as well.
However, My issue is that I have a webpart that depends on the automatically created property because it's name has been hard coded in the webpart.
Is there a way to force SharePoint online to create this missing property.
- I have the same issue; a custom choice column which isn't available to map with the refinablestring
Where did you create the column exactly, at SharePoint "list" level or "site" level (site column)?
When you create a site column, managed property will be created automatically but when you create a list column, you have to create the managed property manually.

Hi, thanks for your reaction. I created the column in the content gallery. Because I want to use it all across the tenant. When I look up the fieldname in the library, the url ends in: Type_x0020_document
When I look up the managed property I don't find that exact fieldname. I do know that there should be a ows prefix, but it is'nt there. It's been over a week now. What I do find is: Typedocument
That field is greyed out, don't know what that means. I don't think this is the right field.
Do I have to do this again on site level?
