Placement with custom zones not working

[dpomt]

Hi,

coming from O1 and implementing first OC site.

I would like to use placement to place some field in custom zones.

Defined some zones via backend:

Added a RenderSection to my themes layout.cshtml for custom zone Featured:

Trying to move TitlePart to the Featured zone via placement.json does not work:

Moving TitlePart to built-in zone Footer works:

Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks, Dieter.

Any ideas on this?

I have found a way to make placement work for an additional zone defined in Layout.cshtml.

Layout.cshtml

Content-Page2.cshtml

placement.json

I doubt this is the correct way to solve this.
Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Dieter
