 * How do I apply global settings to a new row in a flexible table? I want to add
   a row to a flexible table and can’t figure out how to do that without losing 
   the formatting from the existing rows in the table.

 * Hi,
 * Currently, styles applied to other cells are not inherited when adding new rows
   or columns. There is also no functionality to copy cell styles to other cells.
 * Maybe I don’t understand the question correctly, so please comment if you have
   any questions.

 * Hi yes that answered my question on the copy/paste functionality. Is this something
   that could be considered as an update to the plug in?
 * Can you help me understand how the Global Settings works and if there is a way
   to apply global settings to a row in a flexible table?
 * Thanks!

 * I’m considering implementing the functionality to copy styles from one cell to
   another in a future update.

 * This plugin has global settings to define default styles for tables and cells.
   Therefore, the style should be automatically applied to cells in newly added 
   rows and columns.
