The following works, though arguably it might be better to use paragraph or character styles:
Format your text as you want it. Select/highlight it. In the Styles panel (not Text Styles), click the hamburger menu and Add Style from Selection. Later, for some other text, select/highlight the text and drag the Style onto it.

While creating and saving Styles may be useful and does get the job done, one may not want to add the momentarily-needed formatting to their Styles collection AND it would be far faster to be able to right-click and have a  "clone formatting" or "format painter" (the latter being a Microsoft term for a format cloning function) added to the pop-up box that now only include a few basic actions (cut,copy, paste...).  IMO, this is an easy fix and a big miss for Affinity.
 

Starting to miss this.

Anyway, it's time to adjust my workflow and work with what I currently have. I'm still complaining bout it tho. LOL

Even faster (on Mac) Shift > Option and drag.

Thumbs up for a "Format Painter" style cloner.
Great program all the same.

I would like to add my two cents that this is really, REALLY important. When I do a complex document I do create a set of styles, often a fairly complex set.  BUT there are always typographic fine-tuning adjustments necessary depending on the actual layout and how things come together. If I created styles for each adjustment I would be dealing with a frighteningly long list of styles: "heading 1" and "heading 1 when (a)" and "heading 1 when (b)" and "heading 1 when (c)"... you get the idea. It's just not practical, and I would lose all the time saved by using styles in searching through them for the one tweaked for a particular circumstance. It's much quicker and easier to copy/paste the format. Please add this feature!

I know apples propriety standards su...
But for you to keep being the apple app of the year?...
And because that would be one killing feature against adobe...
Also because we all had to adapt to thunderbolt and usb-c and whatever else economical survival strategy...

Any news on the Heic update? Would be nice to have a working photos integration again.
 
Cheers

I was aware/presumed that this file type was not supported after the recent updates, but I was hoping for something more than "may add support".

So I guess the amount of time people consider little differs greatly...

It seem's I produced a shit storm, i'd woudn't have anticipated.
 
I hope one can induce from it
 
- that we care
- that some are ready to fight for it
- because we do think Affinity would be a real alternative to inDesign
- that we all hope it will be as soon as possible
- that, in time of digital transparancy there needs to be more communication than "comming soon, or next year, or what ever" 
- t'ill APu is here, its for each of us to find the right answer. Some will come back, other not. It's the only thing Affinity can be sure off.
 
And to all: have a good day. Were I am it begins with a warming willkomming sun.
