I am not sure what the "Index" row in Solr Admin UI's schema viewer is supposed to track, but there is an easy way to verify the default docValues behavior with schema v1.7.
If you set a primitive field as stored=false with no explicit docValues attribute defined, and query for the document id, does it return the field? If yes, it's coming from docValues. -Rahul On Wed, Mar 11, 2026 at 5:28 AM Guillaume <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Are DocValues *actually* enabled by default when schemaVersion is >= 1.7 ? > When I create a brand new Solr Core with a Schema that do not explicitly > specify "docValues", I find that the "Solr UI Schema viewer" shows up > "DocValues" checked on the "Schema" row of my fields....
