I'm trying to customise some of the existing search result item templates.
I've done it at the site collection level and can see the updates I made.
I now want to include the item ID (ListItemID managed property) in the template.
I've added the ListItemID to the ManagedPropertyMapping section of both item template as well as item hover panel template.
This automatically updated the JS file based on the HTML file, but when I go to the Manage Result Types page there is no Property Sync alert (like here: http://stevemannspath.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/sharepoint-2013-search-managed-property.html), which I am expecting to see at this point.
I checked both pages - under Search and Site Collection Administration.
I also checked the search centre (even though I'm not using it for this scenario).
What's missing?
Are there any pre-requisites required for this to work? (any features activated?)
I remember doing this in the past on a different VM and it worked, now it doesn't.
