You can move styles from one parent to another inheriting those attributes when
not overwritten. For example, 

Default PS > Heading > My Blue Heading (using blue font color): take "Heading
1" and move it under this node to make all H1 blue using the same uniquely
defined attributes such as font size.

And I 100% sign Dave's "keep it simple".

What I wanted to do was to overwrite some DEFAULT paragraph styles using the
"New Style from selection" button? You can do this for custom styles but not
default ones. The workaround is easy enough, but I wondered why default styles
are reserved.

Otherwise I'm OK to close if the consensus is nay.

What you are proposing is an extremely convoluted mechanism for creating a
separate (other) style loosely based on an existing style.

We already have a relatively simple mechanism to do this, by clicking on the
sidebar "Styles Action" button and selecting "New Style from Selection" option,
to create a a separate (other) style based on an existing style.

As someone who has trained users in the use of this software since 2001 and
contributed to it's documentation, I can justifiably claim that the most
difficult aspect of Writer is to explain to new/inexperienced users is
"Styles", what they are and how to use them.

We already have numerous complex all singing/dancing sidebars and toolbars and
another Styles creation mechanism would only add more unnecessary
complications. The software has many other important issues the devs need to
address, before looking into fanciful suggestions like this.

My take, the existing mechanism WFM. So -1.

Here is an example of how it might work:

Suppose that Writer had a dialogue with a list of existing paragraph styles in
the left-hand column, and an identical list in the right-hand column. You
select a "donor" style in the LH column, then a "recipient" style in the RH
column, then press the "Apply" button. All properties, except those in the
"Organizer" tab, are transferred from the donor to the recipient. The dialogue
stays open, allowing further substitutions, until the user presses "Close".

As Roman has already stated, you are complicating easy things.

You state: "change the style of an existing paragraph from "Header 1" to
"Title", but don't change the properties of the paragraph." How would it be
possible to change the paragraph style to be the same as another existing
paragraph without changing the properties (aka Style) of the paragraph?

Applying the Style of any other existing paragraph would change the properties
(aka Style) of the paragraph it was applied to.

So -1 from me too.

I think, you can just create a new style based on another one with needed
formatting options.

You want do easy things by hard way 

-1 from me
