MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris Perhaps I missed an update somewhere, but I'm not seeing anything modern about the new "modern" document sets. As soon as you click into one, you're taken to a classic experience, which means it's not easy to update things like metadata and retention labels.
Are modern document sets just not pushed out to everyone yet? Or is this what it's meant to be - an old-fashioned document set on a modern site in a modern library?
Found the solution:

I wish it weren't so complicated to just get a modern view, but the above solution does work, thank goodness. Thank you to the person that first posted it.
There is no Welcome Page, but I can live with that.
- For now this works for me, but it is just good enough to continue our tests with Flow within Document Sets because Microsoft indeed still has a lot of work to do to get Modern Document Sets work without the strange behaviour in the menu and metadata for example. Unfortunately, because Modern is overall so far well done in SharePoint Online.
Please, are you in Office365 or "Sharepoint server on premise"? And have you tried the solution? I'm doubt that two views can be primary in the same time... Does the solution work for you? Any trick?
We are using SharePoint online. I did try the solution, and it worked. Not sure I fully understand the philosophy behind it yet, but as long as it works, I'm good.
- Not only strange UX, but more important missing functionality like Flow in Document Sets :-(
We are still waiting to get Modern Documents Sets back in our tenant (we had it for about a week and build our flows …).
