Overriding defaults in layout frontmatter does not affect page

Hi @mmistakes, what I am trying to do is set the theme’s toc setting in a layout instead of setting it in the page.

I have toc: true set as a default in _config.yml but I want to disable it for my index pages. I have a _layouts/index.md file where I set toc: false in the frontmatter hoping that pages using that layout would not get a toc. But it doesn’t work like that.

If I have to set something in the page file then I might as well do toc: false in its frontmatter. It’s what I am doing now but I hoped that I could factor that out to the layout.

Sorry - I posed the question in a generic way rather than calling out the theme… :slight_smile:
