Is there a way to set a default content block layout to a particular document type?

Yes @aramisnegron, please take a look at the Default Templates feature, documented here: [https://www.modmore.com/contentblocks/documentation/defaults/](https://www.modmore.com/contentblocks/documentation/defaults/)

I have the same question but I want to avoid that the user can select the default template in the “Add Layout” Dialog again. It should be hidden. I can restrict the amount for layouts but not for templates.

I used a workaround to solve this. I added a condition: Only available if Template ID is 10000.
