Page properties not visible for filtering news webpart
stevenam Can you see that each column is associated to the content types in library settings? I would try on a new site and see if the issue is the site itself. I was not able to filter on Yes/No columns in the News web part, but I use choice columns all the time and they work.
Thank you for your reply Susan.
Yes I have added the site column to the Site Pages library. I also checked to box to apply to all content types. The page on which I want to use the filtered webpart is on the same site as the news pages itself (even in the same library actually).
I can use the columns as filters in the Site Pages library but they do not show in the filter option within the news webpart.
stevenam This may be a problem with the column type of Y/N. I just tried a Y/N column in a test site I have and it didn't appear as a choice to filter in News. Try replacing it with a Choice column with values of Yes and No. It will definitely work with Choice columns.
Susan_HanleyI actually have a few different types of custom columns:
Yes/no Date and time Choice One textline Managed metadata Multiple textlines Person or group Even the choice column does not show up.
