How is datetime mapped in Sitecore in Solr?
An array of DateTime is mapped as ” {0}_dtm” in Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config, but there is no mapping provided for “*_dtm”, so a multi-value date field needs to be added. You’ll also notice that the format for updating managed schemas is different from the schema itself.
