Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris Hello, in our tenant we have received this update recently but the behavior is not consistent. In modern view we are not shown the content types added in the document set if we create a document set and navigate into it to add content. But, in classic view this is working fine.
1. Document Set content type in 'New' Menu2. Created a new document set3. Go inside the newly created document set4. Content types under the document set is now shownAs you can see in the last screenshot, here the menu should show all the content types available under the document set, but, it is still showing the actual document set content type!
Now, if I go back to 'classic experience' at this point, I can see all those content types shown properly.
5. Classic exp shows all content types under document set properly
Weird thing is, if I now chose to go back to "modern view", then all these content types will show up.
6. All content types show up now in modern view
At this point, you can upload/ create documents from the above content types. In the properties section you can see the 'Content Type' property as editable.
But, if you close the window and open a new session, all goes back to original state. Any idea how to fix this behavior apart from moving to classic experience completely.
Note: I have a demo tenant created few days back, there also I can see modern document set published, but the experience is not buggy, there it is working fine.

Here are some workarounds while we're working on rolling out a fix:
- Return to classic SharePoint, click on a document set, and click "Update the Document Set" above the document set properties.
- Create a new document set item in the library (you can delete it after, if you’d like).
- Add the missing content types to the library. The “change new button order” link below the content-types will allow you to hide them from the “New” button outside of Document Sets, if that’s desired.
