The Document Library is in a Modern Team Site within SharePoint Online. Also we are using 2 different content types in our library. One folder and one document content type. We can set the default values for folders within the library settings, however when we upload a document to the folder it does not apply the values to the columns.
If you use default document library and later decide to enable SharePoint Publishing features, SharePoint will add 2 columns to your document library, without you knowing about this. If you are using folders, you most likely will not encounter those columns (unless the user decides to rename a file (Edit Properties).
Why should you never use SharePoint default document?
The best way to prevent those columns from appearing is by not using a default SharePoint Document Library. Columns are only created in the default library. If you create a new document library – those columns will not appear (even if you enable Publishing Features).
