Shared columns of document set not set in Document Information Panel

Question

After I upload a document in a document set, the edit form is being displayed and all of our shared columns of the document set are set by default as metadata of the document.

When we start with a new document, the shared columns of the document set are being displayed - but does not contain any values.

Does anyone have experience with this behavior?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

The shared fields are set by an itemeventreceiver, so won't be filled till the document is actually added and saved to the document set.
