Change Document Set Welcome Page Default View

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to change the "Default Welcome Page View" setting from CSOM / C# code? (see attachment)

I found some things can be changed via the DocumentSetTemplate class, but the Default View setting/property I need seems to be missing here?!

 

Are there any alternatives?

    Hi Thomas,

    DocSets' API is limited in CSOM. It's not possible to change most of the settings.
    Last time, when I faced DocSets provisioning I ended up with a hack to send emulation of user clicks on a settings form to achieve code based provisioning of DocSet settings.

      **bleep**..., I kinda expected this answer already, never the less i'm still disappointed :(

      The "emulation of user clicks" hack looks really dirty, but then again I don't see another way.

       

      Do you still happen to have the code?
