Hi Kotus-Tech365,
There could be a few things going on here.
- Is the SharePoint site a "modern" site that uses a Microsoft 365 group for access? If yes, when you create the retention label policy, choose "Microsoft 365 Group" as the location, not SharePoint sites. 99% of the time, this is the issue.
- Did you apply the content type to the specific document you want to label?
- Your condition may not be formatted correctly. It should be: ContentType:"content type name". It's important to add the quotes if the name has spaces.
Please let us know if these resolve the issue. The great news is that we are releasing a feature in February 2023 called simulation mode for retention labels that will help you test these policies in 24hrs rather than one week.
Thanks!Erica
