Is there a way to cascade layouts?

I tried something like this:

```auto
//blueprint/pages/default.yml
content:
  type: layout
  fieldsets:
    - grid

```

And i also made a block:

```auto
//blueprint/blocks/grid.yml
fields:
  grid:
    type: layout
    layouts:
      - "1/1"
      - "1/2, 1/2"
      - "1/3, 1/3, 1/3"

```

Works well but i can’t get preview:

Any Ideas or any other workarounds?

_The benefit of that is: You could put a wrapper around the layout. Make sense on One-Pagers, where you have multiple sections and inside a layout with multiple rows._

You grid is a new block type, and you would have to create a preview for it: [Blocks | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/extensions/blocks)

I think the way forward would be via a custom endpoint in your preview that returns the rendered layout.

Thanks Sonja. Would you thing, there is a way to inherit the preview from the existing Layout-Field?

Howdy! 🤠  
I made a Plugin for this!  
The [GRID-BLOCK-PLUGIN](https://github.com/youngcut/kirby-grid-block), available now for all.

Hi there. The plugin i mention here before is _deprecated_. Please use the [Kirby Column Block](https://github.com/youngcut/kirby-column-blocks).
