Hi @Joel Gold, here is the workaround that was suggested by our Support Team:

When folders are copied, they retain the default view of the original folder. With this in mind, you can create a ‘template’ folder containing a structured hierarchy of empty folders, each with a different default view. For example:

- TemplatesWithDifferentDefaultViews

- TemplateWithDefaultTable

- TemplateWithDefaultGantt

Instead of using POST /folders/{destinationFolderId}/folders to create a new folder, you can use POST /copy_folder/{idOfFolderWithDesiredView}?title=necessaryTitle&parent={desiredParentFolder}

This approach copies a folder that already has the desired default view, ensuring the new folder inherits the same settings.

If you need further clarification or assistance, please feel free to contact our Support Team. Alternatively, let me know if you’d like me to raise a ticket on your behalf, happy to help! 😊
