Change Master slide of a layout

Is there any solution to change master slide of a layout?
I have a base template ready for the development and it has a master slide where number of global triggers are added. I am using this base storyline file for development.
When I import PPT file, another set of Master slide and layouts get added in Storyline file. I want to change the master slide of the layout so that all layouts will have my base master slide.
In simple words, I want to shift the layout from one pool to another.
Any solution to this?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Hi Shailesh.
When you import a PowerPoint file the formatting is retained. In Slide View you can right click any slide, select Layout and then select a layout from your slide master.
Hello Justin,
Thank you for the response.
Using that, the base slide master is not changing, only the layout ys changing.
I want to retain the layout template as is and want to change slide master for that layout which has some global level triggers.
Thanks,
Shailesh
I think it would be helpful if we can see an example of what you are trying to do. You can attach it here or you are welcome to submit a case so we can take a closer look.
Please find the attached sample storyline file.
Kindly assume that the slides created after importing PPT file in Storyline.
There is another master slide which will have many global triggers (master slide with blue box). I want to retain the layout templates of the slides as is but want to change the master slide for all layouts. So that the global triggers can directly apply to all slides.
I can copy the triggers between master slides but I am just checking if any possibility to avoid that step.
Hi Shailesh.
Unfortunately there isn't.
Ive been using mutliple Master slides in current project. I assign useage on each Slide using the Right Mouse drop-down menu / Apply Layout.
