I've got a project where I am designing a set of similar interfaces, accessible to different users.  I would like to reuse page layouts and expanded record layouts (when you open a record from the element on the interface page). I can initially reuse by copying the page, but that doesn't keep them in sync. Having to redesign the same expanding record form layout is also really painful.

Is there some kind of template that can be used for the page layouts and expaded record forms?

I have the same issue. Our airtable base has a lot of nested and interelated tables. Its very usefull to be able to click through a record and then click on anouther linked record to pull up a drawer in the airtable interface that allows users to make changes to that linked record. 

It seems that sometimes there is a way to reuse the forms or record details, but a lot of times the list of forms and detail pages is empty and you have to make a duplicate form. It would be great to see a complete list of forms from the entire base. I'm not sure how the list of forms is populated, but right now it seems pretty random.
