Hi @sega2,

In the past this was possible by simply enable the shared columns on the document content type settings. Have you tried that? Don't know if that feature still works with the modern document sets though.

Thanks, that still work. However the problem is that if you choose shared they will inherit from the document set, and you cannot following change the values on the document to something else. We need to default get the value from the document set, and then if needed change the value to something else on the document it self.

Hi @sega2,

In that case you can probably first check if the parent folder is an item of type document set. You can check if the contenttypeid begins with 0x0120D520 (that is the id of the base Document Set content type).

If it is a document set you could retrieve its existing values and reuse it in update file properties action.

Below is an example of that approach.

This sample assumes that all document sets are created in the root of the library.

_api/web/lists/getbytitle('DocumentSetsExample')/Items?$filter=Title eq '@{split(triggerOutputs()?['body/{Path}'], '/')[1]}' and startswith(ContentTypeId, '0x0120D520')
