Dudditz They have not been pulled.  We had a temporary rollback because of an issue with the flight - it was not any of the issues being discussed here, it was a backend thing.  Sorry about the confusion.

 

Additionally, we have internal confirmation that the following issues have been fixed in production:

  • Opening in a new tab
  • Properties not showing
  • Some of the breadcrumb click issues - we're still working on this
  • New button not showing the correct items in a document set

If anybody's still having difficulties with the above, please let us know.

We haven't used Doc Sets in previous SharePoint versions but noticed a bug when a folder was uploaded and then changed to a Doc Set content type. The content type appears to be changed and now allows for assigning of metadata but the icon is not updated. Is this a known issue that is being worked on?

    Can you provide an update on the bug where the icon doesn't change when the content type is changed? Not everyone has access to powershell and running a command after any update isn't elegant in the slightest.

      This's been a known issue over a million years. MS doesn't care. Absolutely no interest...

      Solution: after the change of the content type, you need to change HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type to "Sharepoint.DocumentSet" using PowerShell:

       

      $list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle("YOURLIBRARY")
      $ctx.Load($list)
      $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
      $item = $list.GetItemById(YOURFOLDERID)
      $ctx.load($item)
      $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
      $item["HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type"] = "Sharepoint.DocumentSet"
      $item.SystemUpdate()
      $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
