I have specified custom indexing rules for my Salesforce content source as such:

```auto
"include": "Product2",
 "filter_type": "object_type",
 "fields": [
      {
          "remote": "Name",
          "target": "title"
      }
 ]

```

Doing this as the first thing after creating the connection to the content source, succesfully adds all product2 items to the index with the _title_ field containing it's name.

When i try to update the index rules with the following, it doesn't actually update the index. This means the items in the index still contains the _title_ field, but none of the new fields.

```auto
"include": "Product2",
 "filter_type": "object_type",
 "fields": [
    {
        "remote": "Name",
        "target": "title"
    },
    {
        "remote": "Description",
        "target": "desc"
    },
    {
        "remote": "ProductCode",
        "target": "sku"
    },
    {
        "remote": "ImageURL__c",
        "target": "img_url"
    }
]
...
"schema": [
   ...
   "desc": "text",
   "sku": "text",
   "img_url: "text"
]

```

Updating the indexing rules seems to be inconsistent in general, as even if i exclude _Product2_ it doesn't remove the items from the index.

The problem doesn't seem to anything to do with ProductCode and Description, as I have been able to index them before.

I have tried:

- "product2" instead of "Product2"
- Removing the content source and connecting again
- Targeting fields already in the schema
