Site Column added to Pages Library is not added to the Site Page content type
I've reproduced the issue. Go check your Content Type for Repost page, and make sure you don't have it set to read only. When this is set, the same issue occurs. Might not be the same but it's worth a shot if someone messed with that for some reason.
Christopher, it's correctly adding to Repost Page, but not Site Page. I have checked and both are NOT set to read-only. Any other ideas? This is so strange because I'm not seeing the same behavior on other Comm sites where I know that I have configured them with the exact same settings.
Add to all content types is checked.
- AnonymousJul 11, 2018Sorry I meant site page, but you figured that part out ;p. Did you check the site content type for document and make sure that's not read only?
- KerryLambertJul 11, 2018Iron ContributorSure did...Document is not read only.

Same thing happens to me that the column is not added to Site Page because that is locked. The new page property feature that is being rolled out to targeted release now will allow you to add columns.
In the meantime, you can create a new content type that inherits from Site Page and add your site column to that content type. Add your new content type to the library and set it as the default.
When the feature above starts working, simply edit the column to add to all content types in the list, change you pages to use the "Site Page" again.
