Document Set issue: Shared Columns does not update when moving files into Document set
Hi, I have also encountered a similar issue.
When I change the content of shared column in document set then the column values of files and folders inside this set won't update.
To me this is clearly a bug since the description says "column values that should be automatically synchronized to all documents contained in the set"

On my side, if I update a shared column in the document set, it will propagate to documents.
However, shared columns do not propagate in folders inside a document set. I think this is by design but I would also need to get the propagation to folders.
Note: I did other tests and found out that if you copy/move files between document sets in the same library, shared columns propagation will not work. However, if you do it between different libraries, it will work. So there is clearly a bug when working in the same library.
