Is it possible to get Modern UI filters to work recursivily

Hi I have a document library with some folders in it. If I set the filters up at the document level, will they bring back results from the underlying folders as well ? Thanks Nigel

Thanks Matt

I thought that might be the case.

I wonder if it worth adding it to UserVoice ?

Nigel_Price9911 what you can do is create a view that removes the folders, and then apply filters to that view to return everything regardless of folders.

Edit the view, then down twards the bottom is a folder section. Expand that and select :Show all items without folders

Then you can also set filters in the view, and return all documents that are true to your filters. Or you can just show all documents and the user can filter as well.

Hopefully this helps.
