We need an option to set unique save locations for each render layer.
Currently, when rendering multiple layers from a scene, you must be sure to change the location the ouput is saved to before rendering. If not, it overwrites the same frames with the current view layer, which often leads to having to go back and re-render frames again.
It would be ideal to have an option to pre-assign a directory to each view layer, to ensure you never overwrite pre-existing renders that are intended to be kept. It also means better organization of output assets.

You can output different View Layers to DIfferent directories using the File Output Node in the Compositor. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, but it seems like a solution for your problem.
Thank you. It would be ore intuitive if it were in the actual "Output Settings" in the Properties panel, and in my case, I am not using the compositor in the first stage of my pipeline.
