Hello everyone,
i have contacted with microsoft and it is by desing 😞 see here below the mail:
Definition:
SharePoint View filtering : view does not exist
Root cause:
Classic filters in modern library.
Resolution
"The view uses classic filters," typically appears in SharePoint when you are using a modern document library but have applied certain filter configurations that are only available in the classic experience.
SharePoint offers two main user interfaces: modern and classic. The modern experience provides a more streamlined and responsive interface, while the classic experience offers a more feature-rich and customizable interface.
In the modern document library, you have the option to apply filters to your views to narrow down the displayed documents based on specific criteria such as file type, modified date, author, etc. However, some advanced filtering options that were available in the classic experience might not be supported in the modern experience.
When you encounter the message "The view uses classic filters," it means that the current view you are using in the modern document library contains filter configurations that are not supported in the modern experience. This message serves as a reminder that those particular filters may not function as expected or may not be available in the modern interface.
If you need to use those classic filters or require advanced filtering capabilities, you have the option to switch to the classic experience in SharePoint.
