Index Custom metaData properties to a specific index

Question

I have this custom metadata defined in a file:

I want to pass them to my fields in my index so that I can use them to filter my search, here's the field structure:

I'm having an issue passing this custom metadata values, can someone help me? Here's my skillset and indexer configs:

Answer 1

Check that the indexer is correctly configured to map the metadata fields. For example:

{
  "sourceFieldName": "/document/metadata_idioma",
  "targetFieldName": "idioma",
  "mappingFunction": {
    "name": "base64Decode",
    "parameters": {
      "useHttpServerUtilityUrlTokenDecode": false
    }
  }
},
{
  "sourceFieldName": "/document/metadata_tema",
  "targetFieldName": "tema",
  "mappingFunction": {
    "name": "base64Decode",
    "parameters": {
      "useHttpServerUtilityUrlTokenDecode": false
    }
  }
}

In the skillset, verify that metadata extraction is enabled, and you’re explicitly pulling the metadata properties using the /document/metadata_* path.

Check also the target fields (idioma, tema) they should be defined in your index schema and have Filterable enabled if you need to filter by them.

{
  "name": "idioma",
  "type": "String",
  "retrievable": true,
  "filterable": true,
  "sortable": true,
  "facetable": true,
  "searchable": false
},
{
  "name": "tema",
  "type": "String",
  "retrievable": true,
  "filterable": true,
  "sortable": true,
  "facetable": true,
  "searchable": false
}
