The conditional column feature is awesome! I would like to see an option to copy an existing rule since most of the time you only change the value when you add a new rule. It would be a minor improvement, but it's the little things that matter :)

Please add this function. This can make the work with Power Bi easier.

It's 2018, guys. Please add this "copy" to the new update! I'm using Power BI a lot in my company and this would be super helpful!

This can be very painful if you have 5 to 6 rules and then need to add them to 25 columns.

Yes please! Making the same conditional format for a bunch of columns in a visual table is way too manual

Or at least make the format painter copy conditional formatting as well

This is quite important. So many times creating prototypes are a lot of work. Enabling this simple feature will ease the amount of work that needs to be done

This is an important feature for conditional formatting as having to manually do the formatting for multiple rows is tedious and time consuming.
