    I discovered an apparent document set bug trying to add default documents.

     

    Despite # now being a legal filename character, and being able to upload files to a document set with # in the filename:

    * You get an access denied error when you try to edit and save any document set changes

     

    The issue can be resolved by deleting the document set. Which is really tough if you've already added the content type to a library and added content.
