Sharepoint List Default View Option

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I am creating views for a SharePoint List.&nbsp; I would like the new view I recently created to be the 'default' view for my audience.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the option to select the view to be the 'default' is missing when I go to the Edit View Settings.&nbsp;Also, I'm encountering this error: 'Something went wrong Exception from HRESULT0x80131904' when I try to access the SharePoint List.&nbsp;I'm a listed as an 'Owner' of the Share Point Group where I saved the SharePoint list.&nbsp;Hoping for your assistance.&nbsp;Thanks,Oliver

Steven Andrews&nbsp;thank you for the immediate response.&nbsp;Option 1:&nbsp; "Set Current View as Default" is not available&nbsp;Option 2: "Set Current View as Default" is not available&nbsp;Option 3: How would I know if I've set it to Personal View?&nbsp;Really appreciate your help.&nbsp;Regards,Oliver

OliAli&nbsp;&nbsp;Option 1: Where are you making these changes?&nbsp; If you're making and editing them in the modern view, select the view you want as default on the top right hand side of the list where the filter options are.&nbsp; At the bottom of this drop down once all the views have been listed are three options.&nbsp; One of these is "Set Current View as Default", which should work&nbsp;Option 2: In the root list use Cog --&gt; List Settings.&nbsp; Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select then edit the list there to make it the default.&nbsp;Option 3: Ensure that you've not made a personal view.&nbsp; I don't believe you can set a personal view as a communal default public one.

I have same issue.The instructions Microsoft provide clearly states that when you select "edit current view", there should be a check box for "set current view as default view". But this check box doesn't exist....???
