MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris - Document sets used to update the folder view when clicked on them on "modern" libraries. With this rollout, it does not happen anymore.
It has defaulted to the same experience as a normal folder where, even if a view is set as default for a content type, it doesn't get affected.
This is bad and I hope this functionality will be brought back for folders and document sets soon.

Deepu.
Deepu Nair LincolnDeMaris Did you ever get a response on this? I have the issue as of today with a new Document Set feature rollout. When document sets are accessed in the modern library they would automatically load with a custom view for the specific document set. Now it just retains the default top level view - I don't want users to have to manually select the right view.

Hannah1990 If you set a "Welcome Page View" on the document set's content type, we should switch to that view automatically. You can access this setting via Library Settings: click on the name of the content type and then choose "Document Set settings".
Michael_Silverstein Thank you very much Michael! That solved my problem. I didn't realize accessing the Documet Set Settings via the Library Settings provided some different options (such as Welcome Page View) than accessing via the Site Settings.
