A new product attribute does not automatically end up where it is needed for search and filtering in the Elasticsearch index. Only a deliberate custom attribute mapping with dedicated FieldMapper classes ensures that searchable, filterable and the right field type fit together, instead of relying on Magento's default derivation.
