- I think what you are looking at doing might involved using Document Sets. You can basically set the "Shared Columns" option on a document set, that will share the metadata of the Document Set itself (Folder metadata essentially) that will pass on or be shared to the documents inside the document set.

Might check that out see if it helps!
You shouldn’t need that feature. Can you screenshot your library settings column section? And or above that as well. Is there a content type section In library settings?
Where are you setting folder content type and or the default on the column?
Where are you setting folder content type and or the default on the column?
Please find below a screenshot of my library settings which shows the 2 content types and also the columns.
The following screenshot shows me assigning the default values in the library settings.
However whenever i drop a document into the folder within the library, the columns are not populated
I really appreciate your help with this.
- Which. Column in the list has default value set and expected to populate?
ChrisWebbTechAll of the ones highlighted yellow. The values are set to be different values at a folder level. each folders values will be specific and entered individually
- Yeah content types don’t work Quite like that. What you are looking for is either a power automate flow to handle that tagging or I believe there is a content processor or something like that that can have rules setup for metadata. I’m out bowling right now so if I get a min when I get home to look that up I will!
