If you have 2 consecutive paragraphs (subtitles) set to "Start on Next Page" and you want in some cases to keep them together, you can't achieve this even if you set "Space between same styles" to 0.

I think the "start on next page" is an incompatible setting for the second paragraph when  you want to keep them together.

When that case arises, I would suggest using a second text style, that is based on the first text style but does not have "start on next page" specified.

Why? It works in InDesign.

If the "start on next…" options override the flow options below shouldn't those been grayed-out in the UI to make clear that they don't affect the style?

"Space between same styles" is here to prevent creating additional unnecessary styles.

While the non-affecting flow options for any "Start in/on Next…" setting appear like a bug to me, a workaround might work in the meanwhile: a large "Space After" for the previous style instead of "Start on Next…" for its following paragraph style.

Yes, in some cases I use this trick, but my philosophy is minimalism -- maximum results with minimum efforts (if possible). In this case I will join them with soft RETURN.

This is a perfect case where overrides should be used. Override the Flow options for the second (subtitles) paragraph to Anywhere from On next page.

Here is the original setting, Start on next page for both the chapter headings....

... and here I have overridden that setting for that one instance of the Chapter Name paragraph style.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Publisher is not InDesign, and works differently in many ways.

As far as I know, in Publisher (and the Affinity applications in general) the setting "Space between styles" is part of the Paragraph Spacing settings (Space Before/Space After, etc.) and is related to specific defined spacing. The "Start on next page" is not spacing, in that sense, and thus is not affected by "Space between styles".

So as it is currently designed you can use a different text style (as I suggested) or a Line Break (as you have done) or a Paragraph Panel override as Old Bruce suggested.

Or you could add a Feature Request to make it work like InDesign. Or you could try reporting it as a bug and see what Serif staff say. But at this point you need to use one of the alternative methods.
