I'd like to not have to create a second product custom field if I can use a selected flag as the facet. I'm trying to cut down on the number of steps needed to have an "On Sale" facet. There is already an "On Sale" Product Flag. If the only way this can be done is to create a second product custom field, than so be it but geez...

I was under the impression that you simply go into that custom field "edit dialog" and check the facet checkbox. Seems that nothing in custom fields isn't immutable. You can change code (but have to change the calls to it) change name, even 'type' (except for say text TO checkbox) without harming the data.
And making a custom field a 'facet' doesn't mean you can't use it for other things.Bruce Golub

Now with all things hopefully explained, it's probably a moot point since the store has a Category called Sale and since categories are a filter...Leslie Kirk

I think you're best off creating a new custom field that does what you want. If you don't want the merchant to have to remember to set it, you could have a feed tied to a scheduled task that runs periodically and just has code to set (or unset) the on Sale custom field based on the value of your Product Flags custom field.
