    Tried it today in a Modern Site and still isn't supported. Verified that it only works when switching the DocLibrary from Modern to Classic.

    I'm confirming this in April 2019, that automatic switching of Default Views does not work. A workaround could be to create a navigation menu that links to the second-level view. Only practical if there aren't any more than 10 items in the dropdown.

    Hi,

    It would be really great to get this capability from the Classic experience operational in teh Modern library experience.

    (DaStivi &) @Microsoft...

    I'm saddened to see this issue was posted in June of 2018 & I am currently experiencing the same issue in December of 2023. There is no way to customize default views for root & subfolders. The steps simply result in no changes whatsoever. There are MANY different reasons & applications for these custom views - Is there a fix on the horizon??
