In a nested content container in Edit+ there’s a message saying “A list of predefined Paint Layouts can be specified in the Edit+ configuration file.”
What do I need to add to the Edit+ configuration file to list paint layouts? Can’t seem to find anything in the manuals.
Thanks, Libby

Hi Libby,
here is an example of the format you need to add:
// [OPTIONAL]
// Array of paint layouts with name to display and asset id of the layout. This
// option is used to display a drop down list of layouts available in the nest
// content division on the contents screen.
paintLayouts: [
{
id: 498,
name: "Features - Image & Description"
}
],
You can find an example of this in the js config example that comes with the EES install package located under /__data/ees/Examples/ConfigurationFile.js

Ok more help needed,
- I've edited my js config file ( using above code) replacing id: 498, with my paintlayout asset ID, ( 13171)
- I've updated my EES Styles and Scripts standard page asset to reference my new js config file
- I've checked my customise designs assets are pointing to the correct EES Styles and Scripts standard page
but when I nest a folder & save in Edit+ the drop options under `Show additional options' does not display my custom paintlayout asset ID in the drop down list
???? help , tips , pointers?

Hi ciggars,
I notice you are missing a comma between 'showChildrenOnLinkingScreen: true' and 'paintLayouts'
