My question is around whether or not custom managed properties should display in the property mapping of a CSWP. If they should display how do I get them to show up?
I exposed a list as a catalog in site A (built using a content type with custom site columns) and connected to it from site B. On site B I connected to the catalog and verified that I have a new Result Source of the newly connected catalog. I took a CSWP and set it to query the new result source. Test query succeed, I only get results from the list. I am using an OOB display template (2 lines) and tried to map Line 1 to a custom managed property from the result source but they do not display as an option.
I verified they do exist as managed properties in the search schema. I was able to manually type the managed property in the Line 1 textbox and the data displayed. Is this what I need to do - manually type the manage property - xxxxxOWSTEXT in the property mapping fields of a CSWP ? Seems odd that they do not display as an option...
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
