MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Hi! I have a question about the welcome pages of the documentset.
I checked this blog: https://mnaveedblog.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/enable-modern-sharepoint-view-for-a-document-set-in-sharepoint-online/
My welcome pages works only in the classic view, is that correct? Even when i copied the new view as the new welcome page.
- @WackMac50 that is correct. That blog only shows you how to get the modern experience when inside a document set. The Welcome page and its webparts are only in classic mode today. I don't think Microsoft has any roadmap information on when modern will be available for the Welcome page.
For now, any metadata you have with your document set, they are ALL listed in the detail/info pane on the right. If you have 6 to 12, it is tolerable. If you have 80+, it is difficult to control the user experience. "Edit all" is a good way to open up a cleaner interface. But if the user only has Read access to the document set, they have to use the detail/info pane on the right to view the document set metadata. There is no "View all".Hi Lincoln
Is there a way to have calculated column values display in the details/information pane for modern document sets?
I’ve tried adding the calculated columns as welcome page columns, but they don’t appear in the details/information pane.
There are certain calculated column values that my users need to copy to clipboard and paste in documents (eg case reference no), and unfortunately this can’t be done directly from the column in document libraries (although you can in lists via right click).
I was hoping to have the calculated fields appear in the document set details/information pane so my users could highlight/copy/paste that way.Hi LincolnDeMaris I believe we have discovered a bug when using modern document sets with the new flow action create folder. The action creates sub folders just fine under document sets however when you have any shared columns enabled the following error is generated in flow. "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields." Creating sub folder using the create file connector works fine with shared columns enabled however this is not desirable when your creating lots of sub folders as it leaves a file behind you have to deal with. Also the Plumsail connector works fine when creating sub folders with shared folders enabled. I have a ticket open with Microsoft and will share this information with them however its not clear this will get any traction. It would be nice to see this fixed as this create folder action is the correct way to be creating folders and the create file action is more or less a work around with undesirable results.
