  The custom properties for terms allow you to further define or clarify a term via the properties. You can then display these properties in search results or specify query rules that look for specific custom properties.

  Here is an example of how to create a query rule using custom properties:

  Here is an example that uses code to verify that a custom property exists on a term object that is pinned to another term object:

  Is there a way to pull custom properties into a list, similar how you can pull additional fields from a lookup into a list? I'm looking for an out-of-the-box, code-free solution.

  Hi NickThoman and Bugiwan,

  Yes, you can get all the custom properties using both object model and using PowerShell script as well.

  Check the below thread for code.

  Hi All, Can the custom properties be used for Retention Rules/Policies via Query based Rules?

  What I have in mind is to use the Custom Property field to record Client Termination dates on Client terms.

  So when a Client terminates their contract with my organization we'll update the Termination date custom property centrally from 00/00/0000 to the termination date in the hope that it will filter through to all documents using that specific Term as metadata.

  The Retention policies (via query rules) can then run on all documents tagged with the relevant Client term and determine what to do with the document based on the Custom property (example if Termination Date exceeds Current Date by 7 Years delete the document).

  Can it work like that? Thanks in advance

  Kind regards
