A quick trick, switch to classic experience and then add content editor webpart to viewform and editform page. Then these two form will stick to classic look and contents will be displayed even if the list views are on modern experience 

 

For me, I had to keep the users to use modern experience only because there are couple of column formatting. List views are in modern view but the forms are still in classic views as usual for document set.

    Thanks tapansam,

    your quick trick works well.

    You will not believe me, but after deleting cookies in browser (Chrome) those pages start to work and all properties are shown or/editable.

    I still do not understand this. SharePoint is mysterious...

      Deleting cookies in browser did not work for me. Using Chrome. New Experience. Still no Edit/View Properties for Doc Sets

        then try the workaround described above:

        Switch to classic experience and then add content editor webpart to viewform and editform page. Then these two form will stick to classic look and contents will be displayed even if the list views are on modern experience.
