I need to insert <meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"/> in a specific category page of our Magento site. Could you please share an example of how to do it? I don't want to use any module for this. I want the page to appear in the site menu and be available to users. I just don’t want it crawled. Here is page I'm talking about.

    You should create "Custom Layout Update" xml file. Bcz magento2.4 does not provide Layout update xml in admin category design.

  • create "catalog_category_view_selectable_<Category ID>_<Layout Update Name>.xml" in theme and set there.

you can Change Category Layout for Specific Category.

Suppose your categor id is 182. and you wish to your category custom layout name is CHANGEROBOT. catalog_category_view_selectable_182_CHANGEROBOT.xml

create category custom layout file in theme or module.

app/code/{{module}}/{{modulename}}/view/frontend/layout/catalog_category_view_selectable_{{categoryid}}_{{customlayoutname}}.xml

or

app/design/frontend/{{theme}}/{{themename}}/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view_selectable_{{categoryid}}_{{customlayoutname}}.xml

set your metadata there.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<head>
    <meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"/>
</head>

your customlayout would be load on cateogy custom layout update field.

CATALOG > CATEGORY > DESIGN > CUSTOM LAYOUT UPDATE (set new layout).

clean cache and check in your category page.

you can get better idea from reference : https://www.magevision.com/blog/post/change-category-layout-for-specific-category-magento-2
