Set As Active Layer

Edit: I made a add on to fix these issues. You can try it out for free here On the extension platform extensions.blender.org/add-ons/gp-select/

Hello there , i just started using the feature in the right click menu called " Set as active Material.." It makes your selected material the same as the stroke you have selected. it's EXTREMELY useful.

So could we have this for Layers? Having it work the same way? if we want to select the layer a specific stroke was on?

The functionally for it seems to already be here to do it. Please consider it. this would fix a serious pain point in gp

I wish this could be added to blender natively though.

Maybe there would be even better ways; but it's true swapping Layers for GP currently is a bit annoying in Blender; so this should be a useful improvement nonetheless.

Similar thing happens with GP Materials and Colors from Color Palette with Color Attribute by the way: it's quite tedious to be picking/swapping them as well; it should be more efficient...

Anything interesting which can make more efficient Selection/picking/swapping of Layers and Colors for GP is welcome I guess.
