Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris I've read through this whole post and all of the replies so I apologize if I missed something. It seems to me that the default view of the Document Set is simply the list view that the docs set came from. When I change the columns, the list view changes too. Seems simplified from your perspective but a document set is very different that a list view and needs special attention so a user can differentiate.
First of all, you need to clearly differentiate that container (Document Set) metadata from the individual document metadata. Right now it looks indiscriminately mixed and you can even falsely edit the container metadata at the document level without effect. My understanding is that this is even true in classic mode with is really bad. Why not fix this? You could color the container metadata in the in the individual document context and make it read only?
Also, it seems you really need to be able to configure different columns in the document set view than the list view? They simply don't suit each others purpose.
Am I missing something? What's the best way to independently configure the document set list view and individual document property editing within within the document set? It should be completely independent of the list view that the document set is coming from.
