Steps to reproduce the issue
Add an alternative layout file in the article overrides
Go to the article and select the alternative layout from the options tab at the bottom
Next view the page and see the override is there.
Next use the front end editor for the article and hit save, the article layout resets to default.
Expected result
The article layout should remain the same when editing on the front end.
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
Additional comments
Good point! Does anyone have current infos about this issue. IMHO, a very crucial issue.
Related questions raised in my mind:
- Does the problem occur with articles that got their alt-layout in the backend only?
- Does the problem occur with alt-MenuItems that have their own .XML files?
- Does it need an alt-submission form as well?
- If not automatically, how to set and keep alt-layout programmatically / in frontend?
Any thoughts and experiences appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

@jayblaq i wasn't able to reproduce this issue.
Can you test it on the latest staging (3.6 beta 2)?

Brian,
This is Adam (Nashville). I am experiencing this exact issue in 3.8.7.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Add an alternative layout file in the article overrides
Go to the article and select the alternative layout from the options tab in the backend
Refresh frontpage article with override to confirm alternative layout.
Next use the front end editor for the article and hit save, the article layout resets to default layout that is chosen in global configuration.
Expected result
The article layout should remain the same when editing on the front end.
Actual result
There is no option to select alternative layout in front-end article editing. Once I confirmed that the front-end save change the layout - I then selected the alternative layout as the default option in the articles-global configuration. I then refreshed the front-end article page and saved it with the front-end editor. The page did not change to Joomla default, rather it stayed the same as the alternative layout that I selected in global configuration.
Sure thing thanks
The main problem is that there is no option to choose alternative layout in frontend article editing.
Thanks to anyone willing to investigate and fix this issue.
