Description: I want to update an existing paragraph style with the style of selected text (paragraph), which does not work as stated in the documentation. (https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/stylist_fillformat.html) Steps to Reproduce: 0. Open style sidepane 1. select text/paragraph, currently style X, with changed properties 2. select the target style Y, which should be updated, in sidepane 3. Style Actions -> Update selected style Actual Results: Now style X is wrongfully updated, instead of the selected style Y. Expected Results: Update selected style Y with properties from selected text.

Looks to me that the description is not good. Update IMO only can be done on the style of the selected and modified paragraph.
I would argue, that there should be 2 options: 0. update the currently assigned style == current behavior, would need a new menu option, with "update [original] style [from selection]" 1. update any _selected_ style, with the current text "Update selected style" but the Expected behavior described in the bug report. # Rationale: Imagine you change some text, you like the look and quickly want to update an _existing_ style, a different one from what style this text has been before. I run into that issue all the time, 2 options is also how M$ office does it, btw.
