Re: Site columns not inheriting from Content Type Hub
Susan_Hanley sorry it's taken so long to reply - I've only just got around to spending some time on this again today. Having added the new "Org Site Page" content type to the site, I've now managed to create a template of that type (using https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2018/02/sharepoint-online-change-content-type-using-powershell.html to update the type of the template). And, you're right, setting that as the default for the site (using https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/page-templates-in-sharepoint-faa92408-0c84-4e3d-8460-3c28065e7873) means all new pages (unless the user really tries to do something else) will be of the Org Site Page type. However, when I used the Highlighted Content Web Part (HCWP) with "The page library on this site" as the source and "Page" as the type, it does not allow me add a filter (using "Page properties" on the initial dropdown) on the properties that are attached to my new Org Site Page type, despite reindexing the Site Pages library. I wonder whether it's hard-coded to only see those that are attached directly to the Site Page content type. Is there a way to add them to that list? I know there's a way around this by using the HCWP with "This site" as the source and "All" as the document type alongside adding the properties to Managed Properties (as per https://sharepointmaven.com/how-to-create-a-managed-property-in-sharepoint-online/ but this is very difficult to teach non-technical users. Any ideas? Sam1.9KViews0likes1CommentRe: Site columns not inheriting from Content Type Hub
Thanks Susan, that's really helpful, and what I feared! I should probably have described the wider picture of what I'm trying to do: I want to extend every 'Site Pages' document library within the tenant to have some common columns such as "review date" and "review schedule". I thought at first I'd just create these as shared columns within the Content Type Hub. However, if I have to add to a content type (I've made one called "Org Site Page", inheriting from "Site Page"), how can I make this what's created whenever someone wants to add a new page to a site? I can see that it's not just looking at the default for the library as this is still set to the "Wiki Page" content type.2.4KViews0likes3CommentsSite columns not inheriting from Content Type Hub
Hi, In https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/how-do-site-columns-become-managed-properties-thus-available-for-search#how-to-create-a-site-column it says "Using the Content Type Hub will make the [site] column available to all sites in your SharePoint tenant.". I have added some columns at https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/contentTypeHub/_layouts/15/mngfield.aspx but can't work out how they become available for re-use in the sites within our tenant. They're not showing in any of the sites within the tenant. Can anyone help, please? I've managed to add content types and have them become available, but not columns.Solved2.9KViews0likes5Comments
