This is key: managed-schema You've managed to get things started with the "managed schema". Therefore, you need to use the REST API to add/subtract/multiply/divide. This is different than "schemaless", although it _is_ related. And they're both different than having a schema.xml to edit.
Or start over _without_ a managed schema, not quite sure how you started that way in the first place ;). You may have used bin/solr start -e schemaless.... when you started and maybe forgot?
