In bug 101648 the functions New and Modify have been disabled (actually both are hidden) but ultimately we need a dialog. The design team made a proposal which is published az https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/12/13/style-your-tables/
Confirming of course. Best regards. JBF
As a workaround you can use the right-most tool button in the styles deck to either modify the selected table style or to create a new. However, those changes are stored only in the current document.
IMHO this bug should have a higher importance because table styles without the possibility to create or modify styles are useless in a large part. Also the table style feature was prominently promoted in the release notes.
Yousuf: noticing https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0ba318b895c164750dc3c7bac6948b04b606f2b8, thought you might be interested in this one. Moreover, I agree with Thomas, we should increase the importance here for the reasons he quoted.

Creating and updating table styles is currently possible through the entries in the sidebar, so the part that is missing is the modification of a table style in a dialog, which will likely await a GSoC student to take up using the proposal in comment 0.

Ouch! It may take some time since this bugtracker is only considered as an enhancement/medium.
Removing the ML since UX input isn't requested.

Heiko, has there been any progress with the 2015 proposal over the past few years? Is this prioritized for future work somehow? ... it seems mine is the 5th dupe.

Let's raise the importance due to number of duplicates.

Assuming that someone finds it ripe to be tackled at long last, here is a list of features that the user may wish to be uniform for the tables of a document: Properties: Table > Alignment. Text flow > Allow table to split ... [This is currently set in the Options. If it were possible in a table style, it would not be needed in the options.] Borders > All features. Background > Color for the whole table. Moreover, there are some features not included in the "Properties" that the user may wish to hold for every table in the document: Character > Font, size Paragraph > Alignment Size > Optimal column width [applied dynamically after every change] Number recognition

Is it perhaps a project for GSoC?
Table Styles were introduced in a GSoC project. So yes, could be a (quite easy) task.
