Variant layer parent conflict

A layer that the default variant does not have is added by two or more of the other variants, which place it under different parent layers. The plugin cannot decide where the layer belongs, so it drops the layer, and everything nested inside it, from every variant.

In the following example, Variant A and Variant B both contain a layer called button. However, it has a different parent in each variant, and it does not exist in the Default variant. Therefore, the plugin drops the layer.

Variant layer parent conflict

To keep the layer, place it under the same layer in every variant that has it, or add it to the default variant as well.
