Suggested solution to the issue

Update DSC resource with a property with available Search Property Categories.
Documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/search/search-schema-overview

Crawled property categories that group properties according to their IFilter or protocol handler. If you edit a crawled property category, your changes apply to all of the crawled properties within the category. This can influence performance and how items are saved in the search index.
