What is the plan for "modern" Document Sets?
- Its too early to put specifics on the roadmap - but we will update document sets. We are not being "classic Microsoft" here - there is a steady stream of requests for docsets (along with other parts of classic ECM) and I've never pretended otherwise. Fear is not part of the plan. I hope to be able to give roadmap updates at SPC or Ignite this year, if that helps.
As with all things content services related, there is a long term plan to update and advance the cause during the coming months and beyond.
I know its taking us longer to address modern docsets than it might seem, but please know that we are working diligently to complete the lingering classic experiences that are not yet represented in the "modern" user experience. We are using telemetry on user frequency to help shape the order of operations and document sets are definitely coming. Not by Ignite, not close enough yet that we have a public date for it, but coming...
Hi Chris McNulty! Just wanted to ping you on this and see if there's any more word on this since it's been a few months. Didn't see anything on the official roadmap yet and this is oh-so-critical. Thanks!
I have also tried to get a response but failed. Last week I had to stop using document set for one of the projects because moving from classic to modern (much easier) is a real pain for the end user. I am actually surprised that this hidden gem in Sharepoint is not getting enough attention.
Having said this, I think the best way to get attention is through https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/14209284-document-sets-in-modern-document-libraries. It is unfortunate to see only 320 votes have been registered so far. I have voted as much as I could and would requests others to vote. ThxI fear that the plan is to drop them - classic Microsoft process is to fob you off with some promise, then pretend to forget all about them and then hope that enough users give up that they can claims there was no call and not bother.
Not a word from MS for nearly 2 years now. And as you rightly say, nothing in the endless stream of announcements.- Its too early to put specifics on the roadmap - but we will update document sets. We are not being "classic Microsoft" here - there is a steady stream of requests for docsets (along with other parts of classic ECM) and I've never pretended otherwise. Fear is not part of the plan. I hope to be able to give roadmap updates at SPC or Ignite this year, if that helps.
