Can you elaborate? In which respect does it not work the same way? > 2. Properties General tab, Formatting: > You can use it, as options similar to Calc cell format. > > Which order they act, which format override others? > Can be made this more clear for users? Hmm, I'm not sure what exactly you think could be improved. The format (3.) is applied unconditionally. What you specify in the Conditional Formatting dialog (1.) is applied, well, conditionally, and supersedes the unconditional format (if the condition is true, of course). The Conditional Print Expression does not affect the formatting at all, instead it controls whether the respective item should be visible/printed in the final report or not. If you enter a condition, and this condition evaluates to FALSE for a given data row, then the field will not be included in the report (in this row!).
