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.
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.

Susan_HanleyYes the columns are associated to the content types. The site was created recently, about two weeks ago. So there is no legacy or anything there.
stevenam I would still try again on a new test site. Just to be sure that the site isn’t the issue. If it is the site, you will need to do some additional digging.
So I created a test site, custom contenttypes and added them to the Sitepages library. Now the columns show up as a filter. Even deleted the default contenttype for the Sitepages library and the filters still show up.
So how do I move forward on this? I tried deleting and adding the custom contenttypes but no matter what I do I can only pick Title as a filter.
