I have a master SS template with a master layout DWT that reference each other. This works fine for one layout in a drawing, but when I add multiple Layouts in One drawing file the fields don't sync.
Can I do this have one dwg with multiple layouts that individually map to the SS fields?

I think I may of found a way to do this after playing around with layout tabs in a single drawing. More to follow when I've got it more flushed out.

After a little trial and error I think I have a solution.
1.) Create Layout using a layout template .dwt file for each Layout you need (or insert your own method here).
2.) Make sure you rename the layout tabs to what I want them called.
eg. instead of B scale layout rename it to Audio Layout.
3.) Create a new SS from my SS template
4.) Right Click on SS manager, select import Layout as Sheet.
5.) Browse for the .dwg file and then make sure the layouts you want are checked.
6.) Import
7.) Now there should be new sheets based on how many layouts you have selected.
8.) Go to each sheets properties or to the Sheet Set properties and then change the fields that can be changed globally.
9.) Jump for Joy
10.) Start over again
