Unless I just don't know how to do so, the fact that you can not copy and past formatting from one object/element to another in GT title designer is absolutely maddening. Sometimes I feel like I'm working in MS Paint on Windows 3.1
Why on earth is this not possible?
I'm having to redo the formatting of a title that has 19 names and scores that is fed dynamically via a google sheet, and I'm having to go in and change the formatting on 38 different elements individually because I can't just
a) select all and choose a different font and font size
or
b) use a format painter and just click on them to change their font and font size etc...
I've had to do this several times now and each time I curse this software and get ever so close to quitting streaming all together.
This is so stupid.

A bit of a shortcomming i agree but there is a workaround if this is something that needs to happens often: Specify a font and a size to your text items in your title within the designer Save the title as a GTXML instead open this file in wordpad and to a find/replace of the fontnames and sizes ( can be automated with a script or small self created app ) WHile a shortcomming , access to a source is also handy for personalisation ;-)
