Multiple lines in One layer - affinity designer

[lalilali]

hello! as a user of clip studio paint, i was hoping to have a similar feature where (for my lack of a better term) there will be multiple "lines" or vector lines per layer. 

i think it's great that lines are separated every layer so I don't need to look for all the lines nor group them manually/automatically.

Huh. come to think of it I don't even know if there's an automatic grouping. But i digress.

 It also might be because i haven't explored much of affinity designer but what I do is I keep connecting my lines using the node tool after every drawing. But that's exhausting. 

I enjoy all the apps! But as a comic artist, this feature is helpful for me. 

My suggestion is perhaps to have a "button" where we can click it to enable multiple lines per layer or do the default one (lines as layers).  

thank you!

You can create a new Layer using the button at the bottom of the Layers panel, or the menu Layer > New Layer, and then anything you create will appear in that Layer until you navigate outside the Layer using the Layers panel. This sounds like what you want.
