Layers, Forms and Layout Grid

Hello everyone! When I try to implement a layer into a layout grid, this doesn't work. The layer doesn't connect to the grid, whereas a rollover layer does connect to a layout grid. Is there a way to connect a layer to a layout grid? The same issue applies to forms. For example, it isn't possible to connect a contact form to a layout grid. ChatGPT doesn't know the adequate reply, as it seems. All the best, Andreas

A container layer is for absolute/fixed content. It cannot be part of a layout grid.
The same applies to a form.
However, the layout grid itself can be a form.

Thank you very much, Pablo, for your reply! I have unfortunately overlooked that a layout grid can be turned into a form. So it seems to be possible to implement a contact form in the layout grid. I will try. Regarding other objects, I wanted to place them on a layer and then into the layout grid. So I try to do this directly and make adjustments regarding their position. I will see, if this works.

That is not possible because then the absolute/fixed elements would prevent the layout grid from being flexible and cause overlaps or clipping.
But you can try to use sections instead:
