Communications Site "Promote Page" feature flaw
- Quick edit will only work in a “flat” view. Only the default All Pages view of Site Pages is flat, so be sure you are looking at a flat view. Or, in a grouped view that has items grouped by Promoted State, you should be able to select and drag items between groups. That will also “re-set” the Promoted State.
Try this: Add the PromotedState column to the All Pages view of your Site Pages library. Then, Group By Promoted State and save the view. You can drag the promoted page back to whichever state you want it to go back to using the feature that "auto-assigns" metadata when you move an item in a Group By view.
This worked for me!
I am wondering how it got worked for you. Today I have tried to add PromotedState column to my view which I am not able to find it. Are you sure still this exists?
Yes, I am sure. Be sure you are adding Promoted State from the "modern" view. Then check the Promoted State box and Apply.
Yes I am able to add this. But I am not able to edit the promoted value from 2 to 0 in quick edit.
Good afternoon! from the Site Pages view, if you have the "Promoted State" as column in the view, click that drop down and click "Group By". Then click the drop down of the view, and save this view as "By Promoted State". Now, in this view, if you want to change the promoted state, just drag and drop it. I'm currently looking for an index of what the promoted states mean, i.e. 0,1,2,3... Hope this helps!
