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.
Are you sure you have added the Site Column to all of the content types in the Site Pages library? Having been burned using list columns as you described, I typically only create Site Columns when I am configuring sites. I use Site Columns to filter news all the time - in multiple tenants. If you add the Site Column to the Site Pages library and leave the box checked to add to all content types, you should be able to filter in the News web part on the Page Property you are using for news.
SusanHanley I'm having a similar issue. I've added a category column on the SitePages, but it doesn't show up on the individual post pages. I'm not sure I've set it up correctly.
- Add the column as a site column (Gear > Site information > View all site settings. Go to the Site Pages library. Make sure you are starting from Library Settings (Gear > Library Settings). In the Columns section, select Add from existing site columns. You will see the list of columns you can add. Be sure that in the Options box, Add to all content types and Add to default view are selected.
SusanHanley how do I know if I've added it to all content types? Where would I see this?
- See my earlier reply. Make sure that you have added the column to all content types. If you have, you should see the column in Page Details on each page.
