Is there a way to recreate photoshop layer comps in affinity?

[kirk23]

layer states  remember only layers existed  when you create the state initially , and update button doesn't make them include later layers into same "state"   like photoshop does.  

Queryes save only layer with same tag  but you can't have two  tags on same layer  so no way to add same layer in diffrent queryes"    

 So what might be a trick?  I need it exactly how it works in Photoshop   + a way to export them in separate files .

I don't know how Photoshop works, and I don't use States a lot, but if I were you I would try to make a group (or many), include it in a State and when you need to add layers, create them inside that group. I imagine they should be added in the state altogether…

Well. it does  work of a  sort but  making states much more complicated .

 

PS. actually i was too quick to decide.    The newly added to a group objects  keep staying in that group state  but they also stay in other groups  now.  I am totally lost now.    Wonder what that update button really update?    In Photoshop its simple like 2x2
