Batch changes to a project sounds a lot easier though. It basically amounts to repeating a manual operation across multiple layouts. It would be much more straightforward to implement and is much more likely to just work in a predictable way. So this is one of the times where our experience developing Construct is leading us to suggest a different feature that should still do the job, but is much easier for us to develop and support, and more likely to actually turn out to be a success.
Ashley I'm not sure exactly what is meant by batch changes, but could that still work in combination with the templates idea?
I could be wrong, but it sounds like they're asking for something like this:
Mark a layout you want batch layer changes copied from.
Use a dropdown list to select that layout, then it sync/batch changes from that layout to this one.
So that the layer's properties, and the order of layers, are in sync
