Document sets in SharePoint Online can have unique views configured that only display the metadata you choose. Unless changed, by default, the chosen view for the library will also be used within the document set (i.e. inside the folders).

Instructions

If you want to apply a different default view in the document set:

1. Click into the library and create the view.
2. Select the gear icon (top right) > Library settings. Click on your document set's content type.
3. Under Document Set Settings, find Welcome Page View. Change the view to the one you just created.
4. Select OK to save.
