Highlighted content webpart - Filter on managed property using Query variables
+1 for a fix to this issue
Wanted to use this to feed documents checked out to "me" but no luck so far.
Also interesting that the highlighted content cannot get normal list items, but is limited to the different list item content types such as tasks, contacts etc. The list webpart itself is limited to lists from within the site collection, so no help there if you want to show list items across different site collections
Pontus T you can get items from anywhere. Yes the default drop down selections are limited, but you can select "ALL" for the content types and for the Sites.
Then you use the Filter section at the bottom to filter the items/content types/etc.. you want using the ManagedProperty filter.Beau Cameron thanks a lot for that tip! I managed to fetch the list items I wanted using the the ContentType managed property. It seems strange to me that "Item" is not part of the drop down as it is the default content type for any custom list. Anyway, happy that I can grab what I need using the filter.
