I want to create a document folder within a existing document library. My goal is to add additional metadata via SharePoint columns (year, product type, etc.) to the document which have to be filled at upload.

I know that I can set specific columns as a "must-fill" but this affects the whole library.

Can I set these default columns in a specific subfolder only?

Reset to default

This is not possible using SharePoint default capabilities.

Any change (setting column as "Required" or setting default value of column value) to column settings will affect whole library & not just single folder/sub-folder.

  • So the only option is to create a second library on the SharePoint with these default columns and link it for example in Teams?

  • Yes, that approach works I guess.
