In the not too distant past (2-3 months ago) you could create a grouped by view in a document library and then assign/reassign metadata by dragging documents to a different group. However, this function seems to have disappeared and I can’t find any mention of it on the usual SharePoint support sites (technet, uservoice). I know others have noticed it due to responses to a blog comment I made yesterday. Has anyone else noticed this or have any more information on whether it is gone for good? Thanks.
Solved. The function works in Chrome, IE, Edge, Opera and Vivaldi but NOT Firefox. Will log with MS Support. Thanks for the suggestions all.
It works in my production tenant. I am in a targeted release mode.
Only thing you need to note is that the group should be expanded before you drag & drop.
Modern document libraries. It doesn’t work on a MS demo tenant or on my own tenant.
Are you checking this out in a modern view or a classic view?
Modern view – was working a few months ago but now it does not. Have tried on a MS demo tenant and my own.
