Custom Views not working as expected for Document Library
HarryNicholls Oh that's a bummer let's check couple of things make sure you have created the folder content type(like I have created named: Project Folder) and used it in your library in the setting something like this should appear:
secondly both of the view should be the default view:
third in your folder view make sure the following settings are checked
finally your document view should have the below settings:
Hopefully you get your solution
HarryNicholls I am afraid that will not happen in SP. Either you can select the top level view or document level view. With clicking the folders unfortunately the view will not change. If I will be in your place I will keep the document level view as default and then at the folder level they will not show anything.
I will think some other ways if we can achieve but now I cant think of any.
Thanks for your reply, Vikram_Samal.
According to this guide - https://camerondwyer.com/2014/01/06/harness-sharepoint-default-views-at-different-navigation-hierarchy-levels-to-build-more-appealing-solutions/ What I am trying to achieve was possible. Perhaps this is no longer the case?
HarryNicholls Apologies for not clearing I mean to say as you are using SharePoint modern user interface it won't work but if you will use classic interface you should be able to use.
I have shown below how it does not work in Modern View
Where as it works for Classic View
I hope this helps
Vikram_Samal thanks again for your help.
I have changed my document library to the classic experience
and checked my view settings
However, my views remain unchanged
Hopefully, I've done what you expected. Do you have any further ideas?
