Site Column added to Pages Library is not added to the Site Page content type
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.
I have the new page metadata working for me, I'm first release, but our tenant is not. What's odd is that I'm seeing inconsistent behavior between a couple different comm sites. Makes me thing its config-related for each site collection, but as I mentioned I know that there isn't any additional customization which would prevent this. Do you think it's related to this new feature? Maybe I should wait until the new feature is rolled out tenant-wide?
UPDATE: I determined that somehow the Site Page content got locked down. It wasn't set to read-only, but was unable to accept updates.
Error: The content type "Site Page" at sites/... is sealed.
No idea how to fix that so I just recreated the site.
- I have the metadata support already so might explain why mine was working.
