Re: Extend News Pages with custom properties e.g. Managed Meta Data Properties

@Susan Hanley  Thanks for your response. Appreciate !!!

I got similar response from HCWP team they still not rolled out feature for filtering news based on custom query/property profile.

https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-modernization/issues/190

We only see target audience as an alternative but it is still not available in my tenant. We will wait till then.
