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_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.
Is there a lot of content in the original site? Can you recreate it easily? Do you have a migration tool that you can use to copy the content to a new site? That is probably what I would do at this point - or use a support ticket. (But re-creating might be faster - especially if the site isn’t live yet.)
