Mandatory audience targeting before publishing news
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to make the "Audience Targeting" field on a news post mandatory before publishing.
My editors should not be able to publish a news post without this field being filled. I've tried enabling the "Require that this column contains information" field in the "Target Audience" column in the SitePages library, but my editors can still publish. As far as I know, this setting only results in a message in the SitePages library to fill in the field when I go to the actual library.
I would very much prefer not to do this using Power Automate or PowerShell. Surely there must be a way to make this field mandatory using the SharePoint interface? Thanks in advance.
Hi PerHardafSegerstad I have checked your case and observed different behavior on the Teams site compared to the Communication site. Using exactly your approach, I was able to achieve the desired result on the Communication site. Could you confirm whether you are using a Teams site in your case? If so, this seems like a good case for an incident ticket to Microsoft.
Hi michalkornet and thank you for your reply! Sorry for not including site type in my original question. I am indeed using a Teams site, so based on your findings it looks like we've found a discrepancy between how the two types of sites are handling this. I will report it to Microsoft and hope for the best. Thank you again!
