Add an option to create a preset for layers
It would be very helpful if there's an option to create a layers preset where I can customize the names, colors, & etc of the layers & sublayers and save it as a preset for when I needed it.

Jochelle, do you mean a new file created with the predefined structure, or a preset you can 'apply' to any opened document?
The first is already possible — save a document with the content, layout, presets, layers, and setup you need, and save it as an .ait template — next time when you launch this file. a new unnamed document based on it will be created.
If you mean the latter — well, an action can be used... but it won’t support predefined names and won’t allow to freely create a complex structure. In this case, custom made scripts can be used — I certainly recall Von Glitschka were having one, written for him.
I personally prefer to use .ait templates. The only problem can be a fixed layout, but it depends on your workflow.What do actually need?
