I just checked the schema browser for a completely empty index. It has
all the fields defined in that index.
I suspect that the schema you are changing is not the active schema that
is being used by the core you are looking at.
If you are running 5.5 or later, the schema will normally be read from a
file named managed-schema, not a file named schema.xml.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8387
If you are running in cloud mode, the active schema and config are in
zookeeper. Editing files on the disk will accomplish nothing, unless
you upload the changes to zookeeper and reload the collection or restart
all your Solr instances.
If the file you are editing is under the configsets directory, then it
is not the active schema for a core that already exists unless you are
using the explicit configsets feature, which most people do not do.
Thanks,
