Issue description

Hello everyone!

I want to use Image column in one of my list. For that, I created a site column of type 'Image', added it to the site content type, applied that content type to the list, and added few items in the list with Image type column having some value.

I don't see the managed property for this site column created automatically. Is this how it works? Do I need to create it manually?

Note: I have waited for more than 72 hours after creating this column. Also re-indexed the list and the site. Still no luck.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

HI @vishalshitole, I can observe the same effect on my tenant. I looked for some information and found that, according to @ganesh-sanap, this type of column does not have a crawled property yet. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/sharepoint-online-not-crawling-image-columns/m-p/2449025

@ganesh-sanap have you observed any change in this matter maybe?

@mkm17 Thank you for your response.

I confirm that the Image type column does not have a crawled property created for it yet. As a result I could not create a managed property, and use it in Search.

@VesaJuvonen Curious to know if this is correct, and in the roadmap.
