How to create a common property for all page types
How about using the PageType and PageDefinition (the class representing the Property found on a PageType).
Iterate through all PageTypes, update each and save.

There is a nice tool for this over at EPiCode. PageTypeUtil https://www.coderesort.com/p/epicode/wiki/EPiPageTypeUtil/About

Hi Nergård,
I downloaded the files.
When I opened the Page Type Util in Admin mode it is giving error as :
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /EPiCode/PageTypeUtil/Plugins/pagetypeutil.aspx
And this path is alos from the DLL, so, I can't check for the issue.
Any other way to proceed further.
Thanks.

Kishore: Seems that you miss some files. Did you download the compiled CMS6 version?
It's an EPiModule which you install through the EPiServer installation mangager.
If you want it's possible to rename the file from .epimodule to .zip and extract the files.
The module contains two folders (bin and EPiModule) just copy both of these into your EPiServer site and it should work.
What Alf talks about is to use the EPiServer API to programatically add the properties. This is what PageTypeUtil does and some other stuff thats nice to have when working with properties in older EPiServer versions so I would try to get it running instead of writing your own program.

Hi Per,
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the fioes from the link :
https://www.coderesort.com/p/epicode/wiki/EPiPageTypeUtil/Download
And As you said I extracted the files , added the files to the sollution and added the DLL to the references and build it.
But, I haven't tried by installing through EPiServer Installation module, since we have many development instances wotking in the same instance.

Hi,
We are using EPiServer CMS 6 R2.All the page types and pages are created from EPiServer CMS Admin & Edit mode, but not using PageTypeBuilder.
When we have to create a common property for all page types, Is there any simple way to do it, instead of creating the property to all page types one by one?
Thanks.
