Describe the bug / error

Navigation fails with document sets. Document libraries has documents set content type. Document set content type has default view specified in content type settings. User filters default root folder by specific columns. Then user navigates to inside document set and the view is changed, but these problems appear:

1. Filtering is not cleared. User usually sees empty document set content and has to clear the filter manually each time.
2. If the filtered column is not present in document set default view, the error appears.
3. Custom command bar extension build with SPFX is not present when you are inside document set. Have to refresh the window.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add Document set content type to document library.
2. Add Column A - to document library and ensure it is added to all content types and views.
3. Ensure "Column A" is added to default view
4. Create new view "Contents" - remove "Column A" from that view.
5. Set "Content" as default view for Document set content type.
6. Create one document set, fill "Columns A", with value "TEST",
7. Add one document inside document set.
8. Go to root folder of the library, filter view by column "Column A" with value TEST.
9. Go inside first document set.
10. Observe opened view.

Expected behavior

View should switch to view "Contents" - OK.
Document should be visible inside document set - FAIL.
Filters should be cleared inside document set - FAIL.
When navigate back to root folder - view should be switched back to lists default view - FAIL.

We are experiencing the same issue in our tenant.

@NerijusV,
We couldn't see document set as a content type in the 'select content type' section. Could you please let us know if we need to create a customized one, or if there is another option in the site content type?

[NerijusV]

Step Set "Content" as default view for Document set content type. should be done in LIST content type "Document set" (not site content type).

@NerijusV,
Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the problem on my end. Could you please provide a video or images showing the steps you followed and the behavior you observed.

[NerijusV]

1. Document library has these content types in list settings:

2. Default view of the library has column "Responsible person":
   

3. Content type "External contract" has Welcome Page View specified as "Document Content":
   

4. View "Document Content" does not have column "Responsible person":
   

5. Open default view and filter it by responsible person column:
   

6. Go inside document set by clicking on column "Name" value:
   
   Observer errors:

1. The view crashed.
2. The view is not changed to "Document content"
3. The filter is not cleared, so the documents of the document set will not be visible.

1. Additional error: if I want to return to default view by clicking on document library name, nothing happens (probably due to crashed view):
   

Hope this helps! Thank you for your support.
