Dotted-line reports not showing up in org chart

I've trying to get dotted-line reports to show up in my org chart. I'm running the org chart on a modern page on SharePoint Online with Plumsail Orgchart version 3.2.26.0.

I've followed the steps in How to display dotted-line managers for Org Chart in SharePoint and Microsoft Teams — Plumsail OrgChart 1.0 documentation and I also have set the SPS-DottedLine to be a crawled property and mapped it to the DottedLineManager mapped property.

I've managed to get staff to appear under their solid-line managers with a dot above their box. However, when looking up the dotted-line manager and trying to see their staff, the org chart is stuck trying to load their staff.

If I try to drill down to the dotted-line manager, the org chart just won't load and is stuck.

Here is the error message I get when trying to load the dotted line manager:

Have I set something up wrong?

Hi @gli,
Please confirm the following:

  1. You need to have multiple dotted-line managers for a single person. In case you only need one, there's no need to configure additional user properties.
  2. You've specified a new user property, "SPS-DottedLine" (the default one is "SPS-Dotted-line"). Please let us know the type of this property.
  3. You've specified the managed search property "DottedLineManager" and mapped "SPS- DottedLine" crawled property to it.
  4. You've entered a semicolon separated list of account names in the new "SPS-DottedLine" user property for all the dotted managers of a user.
  5. You've picked the "SPS-DottedLine" property in the Data source settings tab:

Please share the screenshots of any user profile with the dotted line manager property set up and the Org Chart Data source settings screenshot. Thanks!

I only need a single dotted-line manager for a single person. Will I be unable to use the out-of-the-box SPS-Dotted-Line property and do I still need a new user property for this? If I still need to create a new property, I will reconfigure the whole thing and try again.
