Editorial Metadata - filter and search based on metadata

[courtneyr-dev]

Expected/Desired Behavior

When viewing Edit Flow Editorial Metadata, I'd like to view all posts within a selected taxonomy (similar to tags & categories). I do not want the taxonomy to be viewable on the published posts.

Current: https://cloudup.com/cnfVU452AX0
Wishlist: https://cloudup.com/ceSoCFSu54T (link to view all posts that have the taxonomy)

Goal: provide a link to one person willing to audit all posts on Learn that need code snippet proofreading, or another to a person interested in resolving broken image links.

Actual Behavior

How does the plugin/feature/module currently work.
The only way to view all posts with the custom editorial metadata taxonomy is to publish the taxonomy to the visible front-end.

@courane01 - thank you for adding this suggestion.

I'd like to provide a few technical details here. These Editorial Metadata fields are defined as custom taxonomy terms. However, we use custom taxonomies as a place to save these field settings. When adding these fields to a specific post, we use post meta instead.

That said, this is still doable but requires more implementation for sorting/searching post meta.

The only way to view all posts with the custom editorial metadata taxonomy is to publish the taxonomy to the visible front-end.

I am curious how you can make these fields editorial metadata to the front-end? If possible, please provide us specific steps to do that as they're not intended to show in the front-end.
