TYPO3 9.5.x with news 7.2.x: Custom properties

Question

I've extended TYPO3 9.5.x with news extension 7.2.x with some custom properties.

I used the manual I found here.

In general, everything works, but somehow the custom properties I created seem to be blank at the frontend. After clearing the cache, everything works again, but after some time the same issue appears again.

What am I doing wrong? Maybe it has something to do that I'm working with TYPO3 9.5.x and the manual is written for TYPO3 7.6.x?

Thanks for your help!

move your TCA modifying code (from ext_tables) to /typo3conf/ext/yourEXT/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tx_news_domain_model_news.php

something like this:

defined('TYPO3_MODE') or die();

( function( &$tca) {

    $tempColumns = array(
        'NEW_FIELD' => array(
           'exclude' => 0,
           'label' => 'LLL:EXT:yourEXT/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_be.xlf:tx_newsextend_domain_model_news.NEW_FIELD',
           'config' => array(
              'type' => 'check',
              'default' => 0
           ),
        ),
     );

     \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns(
        'tx_news_domain_model_news',
        $tempColumns
     );

     \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addToAllTCAtypes("tx_news_domain_model_news", 'NEW_FIELD', '', 'after:title');

})( $GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_news_domain_model_news']);
