Applying master to master doesn't work

[mawie]

Hey guys,

I tried to base on master page on another but apparently nothing changes. Has anybody experienced the same issue? Didn't find helpful posts in the forum. What I did:

1. Create "Master A" and "Master B"
2. Insert example image on "Master A"
3. Right-click on "Master B" -> Apply Master -> Select "Master A" and "Current Spread" -> Ok -> nothing changed.

Cheers and thanks

Hi mawie,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Affinity Publisher is not able to apply masters to other master pages. Only to regular pages (you can apply more than one master to regular pages though). Currently this is working as intended/was designed to so it's not really a bug.

Hey MEB,

thanks for the quick reply.  So it's a different kind of concept to what I'm used to. Well than, I will try it out.

Cheers

Not too sure if this is what you would want:

1. Create "Master A"

2. Insert something on "Master A"

3. Duplicate "Master A" and rename that "Master B"

We will have this capability soon, hopefully in the next build. As MEB says, you can already apply multiple masters to a page.
