Description

Hi, (Again)

I read the entire documentation about Automapping with Tiled but I do not find the answer to my question.

Is there any way to search the input layer pattern through all layers of the map. Like having an input layer name as input_* instead of input_background.

This would be very useful for the maintenance instead of copying it as many time as number of map layers.

Best regards,
Birmania

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or implementation entry point. Start by reviewing the Automapping documentation and the current layer-pattern matching behavior; the work would be complete when one rule can match the requested input-layer pattern across all map layers without duplication.
