OpenEXRMultilayer and Viewlayers

Hi everybody,
I have a question, I am rendering a scene, that I basically want to split into 3 different parts. I achieve what I want with the viewlayers. But there is a catch. I am rendering OpenEXR Multilayer. Now the problem is it seems to distribute the passes among the 3 viewlayers, so for example I need most passes only for layer A (Layer B and C are fine as a simple image, BUT it renders some passes for B and C so they are missing for A where I would actually need them) I hope its somehwhat understandable? Is there a way to either get control over what passes go to which layer OR perhaps a way to set for example the EXRMultilayer ONLY for viewlayer A and render normal EXRs for viewlayer B and C?

Thank you very much an best regards!

You can just activate the passes you need in each View Layer and, in the Compositor, feed them from multiple Render Layers nodes (each one set to a different View Layer) into a File Output node (set to OpenEXR MultiLayer). Or am I misunderstanding your problem?
