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.
Dear LincolnDeMaris,
Could you take a look at Julies comment as we're having the same issue at the moment.
Is this something that will get solved, or is the general guideline to force classic view for document sets. Previously at least modern ui worked at least half baked.
MicrosoftThanks for reporting. I'm working with engineering to get this fixed. One of the following should be true: 1. the modern property form for document set content types should show the document set metadata or 2. the property form for document set content types should always be the classic form
Dear LincolnDeMaris
any update on the metadata issue for document sets with modern ui? It's still not possible to edit other metadata for document sets, except the Name.
I have the same issue.
My users can only change the name, unless they force it to go back to Classic view.
I have now set the document library to always show in Classic view.
At least this way the users can work with Document sets
I've just stumbled across this thread because I'm looking at options for a client of mine, and Document Sets would be a perfect fit for them IF they worked fully in modern. Interestingly the behaviour I've seen tonight is when I edit the document set properties, I only see Name. However, when I hit the save button, the other fields briefly appear while the page is navigating away which means they're there, just not visible when they need to be. Seems like it's teasing me!
More interestingly, I've just dived into the DOM on the update form and it appears my fields are there, however the Knockout conditional switches are hiding it.
- Cool, thanks for the update!
