Description
When we create UI elements, we have to change their layers to be the same as the parent, for every element we create. An example is creating a dialog box that lives on a 'UITop' layer - for every element we create in the dialog box, the layer must be manually set to 'UITop'. The editor should automatically do this for us.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing where new UI elements are created and how their parent relationship is available; confirm the expected behavior by creating a child under a parent on a custom layer and checking that the child receives the same layer automatically.
