                    (sidebar) Paragraph Style to another
           Product: LibreOffice

An example may make the request clearer.

Suppose you want to change the style of an existing paragraph from "Header 1"
to "Title", but don't want to change the properties of the paragraph. 

In this case,there is no direct way to clone the properties from "Header 1" to
"Title"; you can't use "Side bar > Styles Actions > New Style from selection"
to create a style called "Title" because you are not allowed to overwrite the
existing PRESET called "Title".

AFAICS, the only way to acheive this is to change the properties of "Title"
manually  from the "Title" Paragraph Style dialog. This can be daunting if
there are a lot of paragraphs you want to change in this way

I believe there may be a case for a feature that allows the user to easily
clone the properties from one sidebar Paragraph style to another.
