MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
It sure would be nice to get an update on what the current status of Modern Doc sets are. Have they officially been pulled? Sounds like many are saying including the organization I work for had them and now they are gone.
MicrosoftDudditz They have not been pulled. We had a temporary rollback because of an issue with the flight - it was not any of the issues being discussed here, it was a backend thing. Sorry about the confusion.
Additionally, we have internal confirmation that the following issues have been fixed in production:
- Opening in a new tab
- Properties not showing
- Some of the breadcrumb click issues - we're still working on this
- New button not showing the correct items in a document set
If anybody's still having difficulties with the above, please let us know.

We haven't used Doc Sets in previous SharePoint versions but noticed a bug when a folder was uploaded and then changed to a Doc Set content type. The content type appears to be changed and now allows for assigning of metadata but the icon is not updated. Is this a known issue that is being worked on?
Can you provide an update on the bug where the icon doesn't change when the content type is changed? Not everyone has access to powershell and running a command after any update isn't elegant in the slightest.

-------------I would also like feedback on the same issue above
This's been a known issue over a million years. MS doesn't care. Absolutely no interest...
Solution: after the change of the content type, you need to change HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type to "Sharepoint.DocumentSet" using PowerShell:
$list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle("YOURLIBRARY")
$ctx.Load($list)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$item = $list.GetItemById(YOURFOLDERID)
$ctx.load($item)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$item["HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type"] = "Sharepoint.DocumentSet"
$item.SystemUpdate()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
LincolnDeMarisModen is still not availlable on the Standard Tennent. What's the ETA? Thanks
LincolnDeMaris We've only had partial roll out of Doc Sets in the Modern Experience. We had full roll out active on 03 June 2019 and as of now only some of our sites have been restored. We're not a Targeted Release tenant. We also have the issue of Doc Sets opening in new tabs, whether in the Modern or Classic experiences.

We had an issue where only part of the modern document sets functionality was exposed to tenants that we didn't intend to be part of the current rollout scope. Those tenants were able to see the modern document set homepage, but unfortunately, not all the underlying functionality was there. This has been corrected, and now all the tenants receiving modern document sets have the full, up-to-date functionality. We're working hard on increasing this scope to include all tenants.
Thanks for the update Michael. Just to reiterate DavidVs question, is there any ETA for the rollout to all tenants? I think many of us are waiting for modern document sets before rolling out SharePoint within our organisations. Last week it looked like we were ready to go, but now we’re back in a holding pattern. I think the modern document sets look fantastic, and can’t wait to start using them!
Thank you for the update Lincoln. As one of the Tenants that had them and they have now disappeared is there any ETA or expectations on when we can expect they may come back?

Dudditz Modern document sets should be fully visible in all Targeted Release tenants, as of yesterday afternoon. Everybody who saw it once should now again see it.
- Hello Lincoln, Today I tried to create a document set in my side, however it still old version. However If I create document set in MS teams SharePoint site it is in Modern View. Is there anything I have to do to make it available for whole tenant.
