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
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?

Vikram_Samal Thanks for your help on this.
I seem to have got the views to work now from the contents links.
However, I want this document library to be visible from my homepage via a Document Library app
When i try to use this view the views get ignored and library view remains even at the folder level.
Any ideas?
HarryNicholls As a best practice this is a new question lets close the this thread so that we can put closure to the thread. Please submit this as a new question that can be addressed. If you find my findings useful mark them appropriately.
Vikram_Samal I think I'm having the same issue. I would like a folder View to be saved to specific folder. I have created a custom view but when I set that view as the view for the folder, it "sticks" when I go to other folders. Why is it not easier to apply a specific view to a specific folder only.
For example, one of my folders has a "Priority" column with Top / Medium / Low so that we can quickly sort project folders by priority. That Priority column isn't relevant to the project folder itself that includes reference documents; but I may have other columns that are relevant to those documents. How do I make sure that the View that I assign to a specific folder only applies to that folder?
