Worked: 2.79b
**Short description of error**
Instanced collections, both within the active .blend or a linked library, don't display using the correct "Display As" setting in the **Viewport Display**{F6492922} setting. The instancer empty displays using the selected display setting (Wire, Bounds, etc.) but the object(s) being instanced display as they are in the referenced collection.
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
Instance a collection from an external .blend or within the active file.
Change the **Viewport Display > Display As"** to **"Bounds"** (or other setting).
Note that the instancer empty changes to that mode instead of the objects in the instanced collection.
