did you find your answer?
i have the same problem.
I have modified the create-site.get.html.ftl and added a new field for the new property.
I want to add a new property to WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model/siteModel.xml but i can't see it in the Node Browser.I added a new aspect with a new property to the type st:site and i can see the aspect in Node Browser but not the property.
Here is the code from siteModel.xml:

 <type name="st:site">
         <title>Site</title>
         <parent>cm:folder</parent>         
         <properties>
            <property name="st:sitePreset">
               <title>Site Preset</title>
               <type>d:text</type>        
            </property>
            <property name="st:siteVisibility">
               <title>Site Visibility</title>
               <type>d:text</type>        
            </property>
         </properties>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>cm:titled</aspect>
         <aspect>st:siteTest</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects> 
      </type>
………..
 <aspect name="st:siteTest">
        <title>Site Container</title>          
         <properties>
            <property name="st:siteDomaine">
               <title>Domaine</title>
               <type>d:text</type>        
            </property>
         </properties>
        </aspect>
</aspects>
   
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I tried to add a value to the new propery in sites.post.json.js :


 var site = siteService.createSite(sitePreset, shortName, title, description, visibility);
site.properties["st:siteDomaine"] = "newDomaine";
‍‍‍‍

but site.properties is undefined and site.customProperties is null…i don't know how to modify the new property and why i don't see it in the Node Browser.
It is possible what i want to do?

Thanks in advance!

I have almost exactly this problem, but I've tried referencing site.node.properties and site.getNode().properties, and these properties exist in an aspect which I've added to site. I can see the added aspect in the alfresco node browser, but I cannot see or update the properties contained in that aspect. I've opened a new thread: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=25875. Please help!
