Description: Currently in LibreOffice there is a footnote paragraph style which is used for formatting the text in footnotes. If I want to customize the formatting of the footnotes I have to modify the default footnote paragraph style. Is there a way to change the footnote style to a custom one and use it automatically for formatting footnotes instead of the default one? Eg. if I create a new paragraph style named 'Custom footnote' and I want to use it in footnotes without manually change the style of each footnote. If there was a way to pick an arbitrary paragraph style for footnotes, there would be no need to modify the built-in footnote style. Actual Results: I need to overwrite the built-in footnote style if I want to change the formatting of the footnotes. Expected Results: I can replace the default footnote style by an arbitrary style and automatically use it in footnotes without modify the built-in footnote style.

Yes simply save your style edits to create a document template with the footnote style modified as needed. Then use that template to create your new document(s), the changed styles in the template will be applied to new footnotes. No reason otherwise to adjust the defaults and you can prepopulate the document with the exact styles you need by using a template workflow. Otherwise no reason to change defaults.
