Site Column added to Pages Library is not added to the Site Page content type
On a Communication site I'm trying to add a Site Column of type text to the Pages Library. There are no special configurations on the Pages Library which should prevent this.
As you can see here, the CommsTopic site column is only added to the Repost Page content type. No matter how many times I delete and re-add, it's never added to the Site Page. Any ideas how to fix? I'd rather not add the Site Column to the Site Page content type directly, it should work by just adding it to the Pages Library.
- This is actually very strange...last time I tested on my test tenant, once I had added a column to the Site Pages Doc. Library, I had the column ready to be modified for a modern page...and indeed this is the way it should work according to this announcement: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Structure-your-intranet-page-metadata-coming-to-SharePoint-in/ba-p/212555
- DeletedI was able to add the site column to the pages library without issue, your leaving the add column to all content types checked I assume and all that?

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.
