Hello Schimmi007

there are no specific settings available for the list filter behaviour.

For this scenario we use a custom search page with PnP Modern Search Web Parts https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/

With the custom search you can use filters, verticals and specific results visualization.

Best, Dave

    Hello DaveMehr365
    
    Thanks for your further advice. Maybe one last question: A workaround could be to inherit the metadata to the subfolders and the documents within them.
    
    Do you have an idea, how I can make sure that the existing and new folder do get the metadata?
    
    Thanks in advance 🙂
