Modern teamsite - documents being uploaded not being assigned default content type
Interesting. In my SharePoint Online environment with multiple document and folder CTs I observe the following behaviour.
- if the default CT (= the first CT) is a document CT then Drag-and-drop will associate that CT with the new document.
- if the default CT is a folder CT (e.g. document set) the document after drag-and-drop is associated with the 1st document CT in the CT list.
Ergo, you are able to set a default CT for documents. Simply make sure it is the first "document" CT in the CT list.
Paul de Jong I have tried your suggestion but with mixed results. Some documents if I upload get the default CT (the 1st one) others get a different one. Also, if I copy a group of documents from another SP site (with no custom CT's) to the library with my custom CT's it does not apply the default CT. Strange indeed.
