No way to add age restricted videos to playlists.

2. Share to NewPipe.
3. In the popup, select "Add to playlist".

Are you able to view the video in the browser without being logged in to YouTube? (I'm not...)
Age Restricted Content generally cannot be watched in NewPipe as like in the browser it requires a login to YouTube which isn't supported deliberately. Same goes for "member-content". I know you can add member-content out of the channels video feed to NewPipe playlists, but still can't watch it.

Now the question is if the adding process fails due to being unable to load the details or if the app just refuses it. That said I'm not sure what benefit it brings adding videos you won't be able to watch to local playlists.

I like to keep all of my playlists in NewPipe, videos I can't watch natively, I'll share into the official YouTube app and watch them there.

Can't reproduce : I have added age-restricted videos to the playlist. When it's their turn, NewPipe just skips them and proceeds to the next in queue.
