SharePoint Template Copying
Have you considered just creating a page template and the user creates a new page and updates their own metadata (if it needs to be changed)?
You can create a page template right in modern SharePoint. When a person goes to create a new page, they are brought to the page templates list and they can select it there. In fact, you can create a separate one for each product if you want to. Then, when they create the page you've already populated the metadata and they just need to give the page a title and add any content to it.
Here are the steps for this:
Page templates in SharePoint - Microsoft Support
Hello Karen,
That is what I've considered and done:
I’ve created page templates with pre-populated metadata, so each product already has its corresponding page.
The issue I’m facing is that when I try to automate the process of creating these templates by copying an existing Site Page Template and updating its metadata for a new product, I run into the error shown in the image.Ideally, I’d like the product pages to be created automatically so users don’t have to worry about entering metadata and can just create titles manually.
Thank you.
