Chatbot through OpenAI project not working when using external index based on external data.

Question

I followed this tutorial:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-studio/tutorials/deploy-chat-web-app

In step 11. of 'Add your data'. It gives me the following error:

'Invalid AzureCognitiveSearch configuration detected: No searchable fields in index'

Even though the index worked in previous versions when not following this tutorial, but on another AI project. So the index can not be wrong.

I connected the index externally:

According to the tutorial it should work, and it also worked in the other project. What could be going on here?

Thank you.
