Comment:

 Hi @vavra7,

 Thanks for the ticket! This is intended behavior, if you want to add a
 setting to the settings controller, you should register the option using
 `register_setting` and setting `show_in_rest` to `true`.

 For instance:


 {{{#!php
 <?php
 register_setting(
         'writing',
         'default_category',
         array(
                 'show_in_rest' => true,
                 'type'         => 'integer',
                 'description'  => __( 'Default post category.' ),
         )
 );
 }}}
