# Guesty custom fields missing from Source Mapping

You have created custom fields in Guesty for a meta title and meta description, but they do not appear as selectable options in the **Source Mapping** dropdowns in HomeRunner, and running a property sync does not change this.

**Why this happens.** Two things need to happen before a new Guesty custom field becomes selectable in HomeRunner, and neither is triggered by a property sync. A property sync alone never refreshes the list of custom fields available to the dropdowns, which is the step most people miss.

**What you can do.**

1. In Guesty, confirm the fields are set at the property (listing) level and that at least one listing has a value saved in each field. Saving a value is what signals HomeRunner to pick up the newly created field, usually within a few minutes. A field that was created but never filled in can take up to an hour to come through.
2. In your website's admin, open **HomeRunner settings**, go to the **Sync** section, and click the **Refresh** button in the **Connection** box. This reloads the list of custom fields available to the dropdowns.
3. Once the fields appear, select them under **Source Mapping** (**Meta Title Source** and **Meta Desc Source**) and save.
4. Run a property sync or wait for the next automatic one so the values flow onto your pages.

Properties with an empty field keep their auto-generated title or description.

If the field still does not appear after clicking **Refresh**, contact support and they can refresh the connection from the HomeRunner side.
