Better View Layer Management
Proposal to make better "View Layer" management ui. At the moment it is very limiting and could be improved.
At work we use complex scenes with many collections that are not easy to control. You should be able to copy collection data from one layer to another easily.
At the moment for example, if you are at Scene_1 - View_Layer_1 (and lets say you have 4 different view layers) whenever you switch a scene and then go back to Scene 1, the view layer will change according to some logic I can't figure out. It either has to stay on the same view layer you had before switching scene or go to the first layer in your list.
Having view layer panel similar to image provided would save us a ton of time. Thank you.

I'm dealing with view layer right now... and damn sometimes i wanna pull my hairs off. Especially the object visibility. I don't get why we can't exclude an object from view layer without putting it in a special collection
My own struggle with this and the mockup ideas of this thread inspired me to come up with a solution. Here you go: extensions.blender.org/add-ons/use-for-rendering-plus/ I'm still working on adding even more View Layer properties support for the copy/paste feature (AOVs, Samples, etc...). Any suggestions are welcome on the github support page :)
