Format Painter for Features

Related products:Other

Similar to how some feature rich text editors have format painters for text, could we have format painters for all the objects in Miro?

Examples could be:

  • arrows can be formatted to all be the same type (dotted, thickness, color, text)
  • stickies can all be painted the same tag and color
  • Shapes can be painted the same shape, color, text

How does this only have 4 votes? This is such an obvious and necessary requirement! Please implement it now.

Bump -- this is very much needed. The standard CTRL+ALT+C / V is a good start, but we need to be able to quickly adjust size/wide/height and apply that format across different shapes etc.

Please make this happen Miro 🙏🙏🙏  Will save me a lot of time!


I regularly need to change the style of an arrow between a few options when I’m working on a diagram. It’s separate clicks for color, line style, line flow (corners vs rounded vs straight), end arrow type, and thickness. creating the arrow, and then up to five separate clicks (in three separate areas of the toolbar) to get what I need.

How has this been on the request list for 2 years with no action??? its the most basic of needs and would be powerful, this should be a MUCH higher priority than more stickies!!! 


Juuust checking in on this. How about it, Miro>


Indeed … how about it?


Yes, please!


Hi @mchow, thanks for taking the time to submit your request to the Wish List.

 

It is already possible to perform a formatting of multiple object on the board, including shapes, stickies and arrows. Here are the resources that will explain how to perform the bulk formatting of different objects on the board:

With this in mind, we are marking this idea as an Existing Feature.

Thank you,

Yeah, easy opt-out. However bul editing does not equal format painting. 


Agree. Bulk editing is not the same thing as format painting.

What is “format painting” then? Genuine question
