PromotedState does not update anymore
On our site, Promoted State is a read only field. You can see this if you check the schema for the field in Site Pages using PnP-PowerShell. However I was able to change it to read/write using a PnP-Powershell session.
I don't remember exactly when I did this - probably 2-3 weeks ago, and it is still read/write and I am able to update promoted state using a json formatter. (I added it mainly so I can manually downgrade a page promoted to a news article back to a normal page)
By the way are you sure 3 is correct ? On our site 0 = Page, 1 = Unpublished News Page Draft, 2 = Published News page, none of them are 3.
The 3 was a typo in my original post. But here it ain't working (still). You are able to change it using the json?
Yes, I can change the status with json - but I had to change the field from Read Only to Read / Write using PNP-Powershell first. If you want more info I can try to figure out exactly how I did this as I didn't keep a copy of the script I used.
