Edit format of main artifact content from export/import without need of modifying the text itself, just format

After discussing with IBM team, we reached to the conclusion that Doors Next requirements Management supports updating requirements format made with an export to *.xlsx file, updating the content and format and re-importing back to DNG

However, it is not allowed to modify for example a set of artifacts, modifying the main content format(e.g.: change font) and without updating the text re-import back to DNG. This means it has not effect upon import to a DNG module if the format has changed in artifact but not the text itself.

This feature would be so very useful (we though it was possible already) to update all texts formats of a file at a same time through an *.xlsx export & import, as far as DNG UI don't provide any bulk edit feature for formatting.
