Feature Request - Conditional Formatting impropved rule cloning
It would be nice if, when you clone a rule, the conditions do start from scratch when you clone them to the next column.
EXAMPLE:
If I create a rule that I want to apply to all my columns, then I will clone that rule. When I go in to edit the rule, and select the next column to apply it to, the condition for the formatting is erased and I have to redefine the condition again. This happens for every rule.
WORKFLOW:
1. I define the "IF cell greater than 80%, THEN format cell green" rule to column5
2. I clone this rule.
3. I open the rule and change it from column5 to column6.
--------now the condition is gone, and must be redefined
4. I select "Define Custom Criteria"
5. I select "greater than"
6. I type in the 80% criteria
The cloning process could literally be cut in half, eliminating steps 4,5,6 if the condition is not reset every time you change the column.
