Question

Make a layout private to a module, so I dont see many popup layouts

27

Lots of modules contain layouts, so implementing them is a matter of linking those layouts to a parent layout or in the case of popup layouts not doing anything at all.

However when you add a page and need to select a layout you can easily select a popup layout from such a module and that I don't want.

So would it be possible to mark a layout as private to a module and then only be used from within that module?

Please add also the option to make a layout the default choice for a new/create page so we don’t have to reselect it every time.
