Please check the managed-schema file within your custom SOLR core.
This can be located for example here on SOLR VM:
E:\solr-8.4.0\server\solr\CUSTOM_CORE_NAME\conf
This file should begin like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Solr managed schema - automatically generated - DO NOT EDIT -->
<schema name="default-config" version="1.6">
<uniqueKey>_uniqueid</uniqueKey>
If it does not start as above, then i suspect that you have not populated mananaged schema. This can be done by navigating to the control panel and clicking the link Populate Managed Schema.
NEXT SUGGESTION:
Check your custom core config file. Is index all fields set to true?
< indexAllFields >true</ indexAllFields >
If not then you need to manually add the field.
