preserving colour and transparency in newly created objects

Hello everyone,

I have a question about Adobe Illustrator: I would like newly created objects to automatically have the same colour and transparency settings as a previously created object. Although I know that you can transfer colour and transparency with the eyedropper/pipette, I would like new shapes to adopt the same settings directly - without any additional click or work step.

In my case, for example, colours and gradients are applied to new objects, but unfortunately the transparency settings are not.

Is there a way to configure Illustrator so that the transparency of the previous object is also adopted when creating new objects?

Thank you very much for your help!
