Simple method to copy multiple column properties to a new data table?

I need to copy the column properties for 82 columns to a new data table which has the same number of columns and same column names.  I seem to remember in the past that there was a quick and simple method, using a few mouse clicks and GUI interface (non-scripting method) to do this.  I don't see these options anymore in any of the menus or sub-menus.  Am I making this up, did this capability never exist in previous version of JMP? 

 

I've tried verious permutations of copy --> paste, or copy --> Paste Multi Columns Properties....nothing works.  The only column properties that are different between my copy-from and copy-to table are the Data Type and Modeling Type.

 

Note: I've already read this discussion but it only discusses using a scripting method: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Copying-column-properties-from-one-data-table-to-another/td...

 

I'm using JMP Pro 14.1.  Thanks in advance.
