REQ: Copy object properties

It would be great to have an option to copy object properties, i.e. foreground and background color, font, size ... form other (same) objects.

Have you tried Edit -> Copy then Edit -> Paste ? :D

You can also setup a style sheet (see the style solution that is installed by default) - and apply that to the FORM as a starting place.

Hope this helps,

Copy/paste? Must be great function, I'll try it :lol: !

What I ment:
if you add a field on a layout, and you already have some preformated objects - must not have the same layout as a style sheet! - you have to go the property definition procedure from the beginning. I like "property copy" function in MS Office package (I am not MS software fan!).

What Bob meant (I think) is that you copy/paste the complete object. It is what I often do...
