    Below is updated code. 

     

    <#if coreNode.id == "Test_Archive" || coreNode.id == "Test_Archive2">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</#if>

    Yes, you can replace my old code with this one. 


    e.g for 12 categories 

    //Assign all the categories id below. 
    <#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive2","Test_Archive", "Test_Archive3", "Test_Archive4", "and so on.."] />

<#if catIDs?seq_contains(coreNode.id)>
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</#if>

     

     In above example you just need to update in catIDs variable, the condition will be same.

    If in the future number of categories is increased, you can do like below to keep condition short.

     

     

    //Assign all the categories id below. 
    <#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive2","Test_Archive"] />

<#if catIDs?seq_contains(coreNode.id)>
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</#if>

      Indeed we will have 12 archiv bords (Test_Archive, Test_archive2 and so on) in 4 categories (Cat1, Cat2, Cat3, Cat4) in the future.

       

      Does the code you sent me last replace the old one or is that a supplement?
