MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris This has been a long going discussion, but for what I have read no one has mentioned the problem I'm experiencing when I search within a library with Document Sets.
The search works fine. I can find my document set, but as I then select the document set to open it it does not switch to the configured view for that one.
My views for showing the document sets and the one showing the content inside the document set is quite different, and I end up seeing nothing inside the document set even though it has content.
To see the content I have to switch the view manually.
This works just fine when not doing a search.
I have tried configuring the views so the document set one is only shown at the top level, and the one showing the content of the document set is shown only for the proper content type, but this does not work when your searching either.
Anyone that has seen this and managed to find a way around?
KaiAtleI can confirm the behaviour you're describing. I didn't find a workaround so far (except for relying more on the searchfunction of the Harmon.ie Outlook plugin rather than SharePoint-in-browser. That comes with other downsides, as it is more focused on files than on document sets/views - but in the end, it is much faster to find the right document and access its properties.
