Deepu Nair LincolnDeMaris Did you ever get a response on this? I have the issue as of today with a new Document Set feature rollout. When document sets are accessed in the modern library they would automatically load with a custom view for the specific document set. Now it just retains the default top level view - I don't want users to have to manually select the right view.
