Issue displaying a custom slot

[msteuper]

Hi all,

I have an issue displaying a custom slot in a PnP Search result part. I have configured the the new slots in the section "Layout slots"

I have ensured that the managed properties are configured in "Selected properties"

I double checked in the debug result view that at least one property returns a value

But when I customize the list view with the following snippet

                    <span>                            
                        <span class="template--listItem--author">
                            Process Group: {{slot item @root.slots.ProcessGroup}}
                        </span>                        
                    </span>   

I only get the following back - the value for the slot item is blank.

Any hints or tips what I'm missing or what is going wrong are highly welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance
Mar

It sure looks like it should work just fine.
Could you try to use the Details List layout and adding the 00GovernanceArea as a column, just to verify that the basic works

Hi Kasper, thanks for your response. I already tried this and unfortunately the same. No values are shown in the detail list.

[kasperbolarsen]

OK,
Can you share the settings for the 00GovernanceArea managed property? Where was it mapped, on the tenant level or on a site collection?
Does a query like 00GovernanceArea:Supply* yield anything?

[msteuper]

it was configured on site level in the Refinablestring110

The query "00GovernanceArea:Supply*" provides 84 search results. So seems to work.

[kasperbolarsen]

Could you try to check if RefinableString110 is selected in Selected Properties, and use RefinableString110 in the Slots instead of 00GovernanceArea ? (I have seen weird issues with aliases before)

[msteuper]

Dear Kasper,

unfortunately the same results. I addedd "RefineableString110" to the Selected Properties, I addedd a new slot and added a column in the details list view. No values are displayed. Also not when I filter the search for a specific value which results in one single search result.

Perhaps looking into the data using one of the debugging tools from here ( https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/using-query-tools-to-verify-issues/ ) could provide some insights?

Otherwise, you could sign up for a ½ hours review of the issue ( PnP Modern Search office hours) at aka.ms/pnp/modernsearchofficehours

A workaround is using the property directly item.00GovernanceArea instead of slots.
