 Ran into an issue when creating a new page template file. After creating
 the page template in the theme directory, it wasn't being recognized in
 the admin page attributes.

 I can only get the page template to appear after going into the wp_options
 table and deleting the "_transient_files_xxxxxxx" transient.

 4.8.3 was handling new page templates as expected. This started after
 updating to 4.9.
