Have you also tried to set it via de backend? the url should look something like this /_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=%7Bb64d7bea-c73d-43df-9145-6ec2f062218d%7D 

except where list guid is it should be your list guid.

Thanks Paul. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any 'back end' when using modern pages. Do I need to download page, edit the HTML, then reupload it? Not sure this is solving the bug. I've raised a ticket anyhow which is being investigated. REG:117081516188713

      Thanks Paul. Happy with creating a view, for that to appear in the document library, and to set it as the default. Works a treat. However my concern is that the view I'm selecting in the options for my doc library (preview) webpart is not being returned in the web part. This is the case across multiple sites.
