Column “Publishing Page Layout” does not exist, it may have been deleted by
another user.
For developers who are working on custom solution on top of SharePoint server, this error that you may face if you wanted to customize display,
edit and new forms for custom content types in SharePoint, in
my scenario I created a publishing page and I am adding custom webparts to this
page by using page module.
At first when you create custom content types that will be bound
to list, and these content types have default edit, display and new forms then
you have to create an event receiver to update the forms as below sample code.
Then when you create a new task, you will be redirected to
the custom form page url, and the below error will be thrown.
System.ArgumentException: Column
'PublishingPageLayout' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user
To fix this error, you need to add custom document
properties to the aspx page html as below,
