RE: Set a default private page for user in Liferay 7.3.4

Hello! I have been using the portal-ext.properties to set the user private page properties like this:

​​​​​​​default.user.private.layout.regular.theme.id=mytheme_WAR_mytheme
default.user.private.layout.template.id=mylayout_template
default.user.private.layout.column-1=com_myportlet_MyPortlet_INSTANCE_myportlet

This is working fine in Liferay 7.2, but I have created a new server in Liferay 7.3.4 and it doesn't work anymore. The theme and portlet are set, but the template is completely ignored.

Going to the page settings, I can see that in the look and feel tab, it is still set to "Use the same look and feel of the My Dashboard." instead of "Define a specific look and feel for this page."Is this some kind of bug? Or am I missing something?

I haven't seen that configuration in ages.
A quick guess: Is the page created as a Content Page, or as a Widget Page? Although I doubt that someone touched this old code when the default page type changed from Widget- to Content-Page.

Hello Olaf. Thanks for replying!

The page is created as a Widget Page. It is indeed very strange. I have still not found any solution for this.
