New list UI : Add column does not display "Add a content type" when allow management of content type
I'm trying to add a new content type to a list. Now they recommended adding a content type with the add column option in the list. However, even if the list advanced setting "allow management of content type" is enabled, the option does not show when using the add column list option.
Is this normal?
- Hello, the "add a content type" via the new, modern method is only available for document libraries. For lists, you still have to add them via the old method. With the list settings | advanced | "allow management of content types" set to yes then you should be able to add them via the old method, even for modern lists.

- Yes, this is what I did. It is just confusing because we always see these warning messages saying that we should now use the add column option to add a content type (in the list advanced setting and the add a content type from the list setting.).
Thanks.
