Audience Targeting Column missing in lists
Hi, I've noticed the Audience Targeting column is missing in lists when adding/uptading items (Modern UI). Audience targeting is enabled on the list. However, the column is available for display in views. It is ok for document libraries...
Is this a bug?
Hi, audience targeting is not enabled for lists, not yet anyway. Check out this page - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/target-content-to-a-specific-audience-on-a-sharepoint-site-68113d1b-be99-4d4c-a61c-73b087f48a81 - to see where audience targeting can currently be applied.

PeterRising , thanks for the info. Looks like it is not in the roadmap for modern list.... In the link you gave me, they don't specify that Document libraries are supported even if they are...
I've created a uservoice: Enable Audience targeting on modern list – SharePoint Experiences in Office365 and/or SharePoint Server (uservoice.com)
Audience targeting is available on SharePoint libraries and it is documented at: Target navigation, news, and files to specific audiences - See "Enable audience targeting for a library".
I can also see the audience targeting settings for lists and target audience column in list. However, I think audience targeting is not applied directly within default list view yet (Correct me if I am wrong) and you need to use web parts like Highlighted content web part, news, content query web part, etc. to filter list contents based on audience targeting.
Check below article to know more about how to use audience targeting with content query web part:
