Copy Columns Properties - Column Format & Name

Currently, when copying and pasting column properties to another column, using either the Copy/Paste Column Properties or Copy/Paste Multi Column Properties, the data format of the selected column(s) isn't carried forward, nor is the column name.  I often copy several date/time columns from one data table to another and it would be great if the column name was copied along with the original column(s) data format, even if it created a duplicate variable name.

Yes, it would be extermely useful to me too to be able to copy/paste all properties, including column names, in particular when a copied formula refers to a specific column name! (otherwise you get an error an have to adjust the column name manually)
