I'm trying to create new layouts (pages) which I'm able to do using LayoutLocalServiceUtil. But what I want to do is use the page templates in Liferay 7.4 when creating these. I can list the page templates with LayoutPageTemplateEntryLocalServiceUtil but I can't find any information about how to use these for new layouts. Does anybody have any information about it. The page template functionality already present when creating new pages is what I'm trying to achieve, which would be used for a custom resource. If you know where in the sourcecode the add page using templates is this would be also useful.

EDIT: I´ve found that there is an ActionUtil.copyPrefrences used in the sourcecode and there is a com.liferay.layout.util.LayoutCopyHelper. i am using LayoutCopyHelper right now and having some success, but not complete. Ie if a view the page after creation, som of the template page parts are there, but if i edit it, its empty again.So still a more complete example would be nice, thank you.

EDIT2: For future reference: com.liferay.layout.util.LayoutCopyHelper copies the layout, but what is not mentioned anywhere is that if i want it to appear in the edit version of the created layout i need to copy the layout to the draft version of the layout. I would assume that if i copy to both the published and the draft version of the layout to get the elements in use right away.
