Splunk Operator: helm chart splunk/splunk-enterprise - indexercluster - clusterManagerRef does not work

Describe the request In the helm chart for an indexerCluster I have a clusterManagerRef:

indexerCluster:
  enabled: true
<cut>
  clusterManagerRef:
    name: mobiles-cm

However this does not become part of the indexercluster CRD when the helm chart is installed and therefore the indexer cluster of a multisite indexer cluster refuses to start

Expected behavior If I now run: kubectl edit indexercluster

Under spec I expect:

  clusterManagerRef:
    name: mobiles-cm

However this does not appear and therefore the indexer cluster stays in "pending" status

Splunk setup on K8S Multi-site indexer cluster using helm charts, I'm attempting to configure 1 site of the indexer cluster (either site fails)

Reproduction/Testing steps As per details

K8s environment Tested on k8s 1.2.21, Splunk operator 2.2.0 and the current Helm chart as of 6th March 2023

Proposed changes(optional) Allow clusterManagerRef, otherwise I have to complete a manual edit after the helm install runs to get the indexer cluster to run!

K8s collector data(optional) Let me know if you need this...

Additional context(optional) Happy for questions...or a discussion on slack
