I am new to VDJ and was wondering if anyone has a mapping for the XP2 that integrates stems, beat jump, hot cues, transport controls etc. Thanks very much!

Welcome to VirtualDJšŗ.
To answer some of your questions:
The DDJ-XP2 is natively supported/mapped for VirtualDJ and largely has pad mappings for most of what you described already (at least Beatjump, Hotcues):
https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/pioneer/ddjxp2/layout/pads.html
I'm not sure if any of the stems pages (Stems, Stems+FX) are already mapped, but you could easily assign them to a pad mode button sequence (see Pad Page Controller Assignment here)
For transport controls, you might have to make a pad page for that (see the same link above and the VDJScript Wiki).
Yes, persons here can map the controller further for you (there are many vdjscript experts like @locodog, the devs and other forum members that most likely would have scripts written up for you in record time), but the power of VirtualDJ is learning how to make those changes yourself.

Thanks for this. Do you know anyway to copy and move this layout to Pad Mode 1? Itās a pain to have to use the shift button to get to this secondary levelā¦.

You want to follow what you see here
Plug the controller in, right click the pads and select what pads you want where (you want transport to move to one click of Pad Mode 1 button, so go to that entry in the context menu and select the same thing you see for where it is mapped currently under Shift + Pad Mode 4).

I have tried what you suggested but I continue have issues. My XP2 is seen by VDJ so no problem there. The issue Iām having is as follows;
I see 16 pads (broken into 2 sets of 8). I right click and select āstemsā for example. This then populates those first 8 pads. Great. I then go down to the pull down menu above the 2nd set of 8 pads. I then select āhot cuesā to fill pads 9-16 but it overwrites stems in pads 1-8 with hot cues. I just canāt seem to populate the 9-16 pads. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks again in advance.
