Using Sharepoint online I am trying to setup several different defaults views - fx. one for Top-level document library and another for files in folders.
I am applying both Top-level view, folder view and using content-type.
However, it seems like I cannot get both Folder and Top-level view to work - the system automatically applies same view to both. Any idea if that is no longer supported or why?
I was using this guide as input for Folder and Top-level views: http://www.cyberviva.com/sharepoint/different-type-of-view-in-sharepoint-document-library-root-sub-f...

We have same issue. Everything works fine in Classic experience. Changing to Modern will not switch views from top level to inside a folder view and back. In Library settings both views showing as default view.

Do you know, if there will be an update soon?

Hi,
I have followed a similar guide to configure Content types and views for different folder levels, but nothing works as expected.
Any updates on this issuse?
Thanks in advance

No unfortunately I did not find some news about it. This is really really bad.
Does anybody has an idea why microsoft do not care about that issue?
Maybe there are some other workarounds to do these things?
I'm afraid that dokument set content type does not work in SharePoint Lists, because there the view is switching.
For now I helped me by formatting the name column of the relevant list. Now when users klick the name column the view is changing to the view I specified. But this is not very handy!
We really need some update :)

I see that the last comment on this was a couple of months ago but I'd just like to chime in that we're experiencing the same behavior. We've got a library with a top level view of All Documents and then within the top level folder there are sub-folders that are assigned to different default views.
I used the example outlined in this link - https://camerondwyer.com/2014/01/06/harness-sharepoint-default-views-at-different-navigation-hierarc...
As others have pointed out, this works well in Classic View, the issue is that we are using Modern View.
I hope find a solution by continuing to search, but for now the issue persists.

We're having the same issue. It's incredibly annoying because we would like to use different views depending on where you are in the library but this is not possible. The only solution I've found is to make new document libraries but that has the problem with not being able to redirect Teams channels file locations to these new document libraries. It's really idiotic that MS does not fix this. It worked before, why does it not work now...

@Villads Chester I have exactly the same problem. In my case I have a single top level view for my Document Set Folder and want to have multiple views inside the folder when looking at the files. Using the Document Set Web Part it does show that I have the views available to select however when selecting the folder it opens up the folder and displays the contents (files) of the folder in the same view as the folder. It doesn't change the view from the folder view to the view I have listed as the default view for files and yet it still displays the files. I am stuck. So for now I am just going to stay with the Web Part Document Set Content and forget about the views for now. Kinda sucks really.
