MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
MicrosoftHi all, I'm sorry to hear that many of you are having problems with document sets in modern.
- Move To/Copy To on document sets. The change that's rolling out does not enable any new move to/copy to scenarios on document sets. We hear this feedback and this is near the top of our backlog to address.
- Opening in a new tab. Before this change, document sets would open in a new tab in classic mode. After this change, they open in the same tab in modern mode. If folks are seeing document sets opening in modern mode in a new tab, that's very surprising - let us know for sure that the new tab behavior is indeed the modern document set view (as pictured at the top of this thread) and we'll look into this.
- Document set metadata. Document set metadata should be appearing in the details pane when inside the document set. If this is not happening, there's a bug we need to fix. If this is happening in your environment, please message me with the field types inside the document set content type and we'll try to reproduce, although your best and fastest recourse might be calling support.
- Document set views and content types. Document set views and content types as configured inside the document set content type should be respected. If this is not happening, we have a bug that we need to reproduce. Please send me more information in a private message - like what views and/or content types are present in the document set content type settings. A screenshot of the settings page could work wonders.
Very helpful!.
but can you please let us know how to switch a docsets to open in same Window and not as new tab?
I did played in view to add various Names fields. I found out you can replace in the URL ending parameter id with the docset title, but I do not want users to do it, it should be automatically.
Can you please let us know what is the view setup to open in same tab and not switching to a classic page view?

Once the functionality has rolled-out to your tenant, document sets will automatically open in the same window with a modern view. You won't need to change any settings yourself.
The main exception to that would be customized document set welcome pages. If you've changed which web parts are shown on a document set's classic welcome page, we will continue to open that page in a new tab in order to preserve your customizations.

I can confirm we are now fully rolled and the Dsets are in modern all.
But I can still find some are with different icon - a yellow folder or the modern Dset blue framed set.
not sure why it is different on Dsets which was created same time with same method, same content type and user, but have different icon. Just cosmetic we can live with, but you know users keep asking.
example attached.
Thanks.
