When I set a parent space to a space, it changes the layout associated to the space to the one of the parent space.
Is this a normal behaviour? Did you change something in Builder 4? I think it didn't make this changes before.
Cheers.

As well as inheriting the layout (if none is directly selected for the space), the colour-scheme is also propagated to the children - you can see this in action on adaptavist.com (eg: the colour of the top bar in the builder space is inherited from the products space)
Also updated are the list-spaces and sorted-children macro which allow for building complex navigation around nested space.

Thanks Alain

I'm already doing this with the builder-show, use-layout, set-flag macros, and I use team labels also.
Every time I release a new layout, I don't know what my customer do but he ends up with wrong layout on certain spaces. I figured the 'space layout selection' was a dated way of asigning a layout to a space and wanted to rework the way I've done the selection (then I forgot about this solution...it happens
)
A generic way of asigning layout is definitely the solution.

FYI the layout used in a space follows this sequence: layout= url parameter -> use-layout -> space layout -> parent space layout -> personal/global space default value -> global layout selection -> default layout
I only wish there were enough hours in the day to document all the changes made to builder, however the choice is between documenting stuff and updating things - it's a free plugin, we just cant afford to devote both coders and documentors to the project.
Volunteers to assist us in updating the documentation would be most welcome

I'm already trying to motivate my boss so that we make FormMailNG compatible with Confluence 3.2 in order to upgrade our lab asap as I told you before (I also told your staff about this at Summit)... not that easy. Then we'll see for the documentation. Talking about me I'd love to help, but 24hours per day is just not enough as you said
Thanks for the sequence, I've tried to figure out the exact one but too much trial and error and I got borred.
And also thanks for the flaglogic.wiki file, didn't know about it. It will help!
For sure I'll have to completely rework the way I made my logic.
