News Web Part - filter by Managed Metadata
Hi Aragorn
I just checked my modern sharepoint intranet home page, news carosel.
In the webpart filter, the only drop down options I have are a "blank" drop down item and "title" item, then the equals,contains etc drop down
I thought that the news filter used to have a "managed property" drop down option along with the "title" option. But I may be mistaken. When I checked just now only the "Highlighted content" web part had the "managed property" filter option.
Perhaps you could use "Highlighted" content Paul ?
The Managed Property only appears in the drop down (inside the news web part) if you choose "select sites" under "select a news source". !
If you choose "this site" then the managed property is not available! strange...
- hi JuanBij12 . I see the same functionality.
Under "News source", select "This site", then under "Filter" the drop down contains "Page Properties" and for me the only property I can select is Title.
I'm sure if I altered the SitePages content type to contain all the metadata columns I might need then they would show up in this drop down.Dorje-McKinnon I've just spent days trying to fix this problem on our sites. some only show Title, some show all the custom columns available. After re-creating the columns in all sorts of different ways I then changed the default content type on the library for the offending sites to our custom type and all the columns appeared in the web part. For us, the standard Site Page type doesn't have any custom columns added to it, they are only added to our custom subtypes.
Many thanks AndyClarke
In our tenant, most of the news pages are the default "Site Page" content type, but some of them are our own customer content type. At present all work correctly , who knows.
