How do I transition items over layouts?

I have yet another problem.

My game involves switching around modules and such for your spaceship, you go on a different layout to do your changes and then you switch back, here is the problem, it doesn't keep those modules that you just equipped (did it via the pin behaviour).

How do I keep those modules and make them transition with the player into another layout?

When you leave a layout, all objects are destroyed in the layout by default that are NOT set to global in the properties dialog box. I don't know the specifics of your game mechanics so I would say, start with that. Set objects that can be taken to other layouts to global.
