Magento – 2.3.4: Update “Custom Layout Update” in Category doesn’t work

customlayoutmagento2

I added the file :- app/design/frontend/VENDOR/THEME/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view_selectable_[ID]_name.xml

Edited the category in the backend to use the Specific Layout (Catalog->Categories->Design->Custom Layout Update->Select "name" )
Saved. I get the message "You saved the category."
Clear cache.
Refresh category frontend and category backend, but changes have no effect.
Besides, in the category backend, "Custom Layout Update" appears as "No update". So the change is not saved without any error.

Probably is a known bug, see this: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/27942

Page Layout XML

As far as I'm aware this isn't possible out of the box via page layout XML, the existing implementation is done via PHP (checkout the addDefaultBodyClasses() function here);

/**
 * Add default body classes for current page layout
 *
 * @return $this
 */
protected function addDefaultBodyClasses()
{
    $this->pageConfig->addBodyClass($this->request->getFullActionName('-'));
    $pageLayout = $this->getPageLayout();
    if ($pageLayout) {
        $this->pageConfig->addBodyClass('page-layout-' . $pageLayout);
    }
    return $this;
}

Layout XML

Just in case anyone ends up on this question for standard layout XML it can be done this way:

Add the following attribute inside the <body> tags.

<body>
    <attribute name="class" value="your-class"/>
</body>

If this doesn't work you may need to clear your caches?

        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
