Hello! I'm wondering about functionality that may or may not exist. If it does exist, it would expediate matters for me, so I figured I'd ask after it -

I have a number of sections where I have a "heading" text style and then a "body" text style to follow immediately after. Is there anyway to tell the first text style, "the following paragraph should automatically use the 'body' text style"? Allowing me to apply both text styles at once, rather than one at a time?

A silly thing, I'm sure, but it would be legitimately useful in my use case. Thanks for any insight folks can provide!

Yes, it's the "Next Style" feature within Text Styles. You can define it with paragraph and character styles. Once defined apply it via right click on a style's name.
It requires to get assigned after text creation + accordingly get re-assigned after text changes if they contain paragraph brakes. (Thus it works different than ID's "Nested Styles")

In this clip it gets assigned at 0:15 sec:

The Affinity Help is not very verbose about it. Maybe this helps, too (though it's also about "Next Level"):

• MacBookPro Retina 15" |  macOS 10.14.6  | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1  
• iPad 10.Gen.  |  iOS 18.5.  |  Affinity V2.6
