Use colunms across multiple site
Hi friends, quick question, In my documents/files in sharepoint teams site, is it possible to create a choice column in my site A and ReUse the same column in my site B ? Do I have to Recreate a site column for each of my new sites ? Big thanks for your answer
Hello Dominic77
you can use Managed Metadata, it's a central store for tags, so you will create a column on each site, but you can use the same, central, tags:

or you can use the Content Type Hub, this will publish your created column on each site:

- MantasSeCopper ContributorHi,
I think You should try to create Site Columns on the root site. At this moment, I can't tell You if is working - but that's a way how I would try to solve the case.

site columns are only available on the site, only for the lists on the same site or sub-sites from this site. But when you have different sites, then to use Content Type Hub or an other solution mentioned in your linked post.
Best, Dave
