How to create a graphic style that will duplicate an object to fill a printing template

Hello, really needing some help here for creating a graphic style that duplicates an object on a page. I work for a company that prints edible inks on frosting sheets, and the company that makes our frosting sheets changed where some of the cut outs are on the page so I need to create a new template.

 

Long before I worked for the company someone set up the files as templates so you could place a graphic in the first guide on the page and then click on a graphic style that had been created to fill the rest of the page with duplicated objects..  I know how to create an "action" that would do this, but I need the graphic style button because we use these templates at an overseas art service so it can't be something that needs to be set up on each computer like "actions" does.


I've searched all over and I can't find anything that references a graphics style that will repeat an object.  All I can find is references to the newer pattern feature under objects. Any anyone out there know what I'm talking about?

The Transform Effect lets you duplicate copies.

Use 2 Transform Effects, one to make horizontal duplicates and a second one to duplicate the first horizontal one vertically.

When done, just drag the object into the graphic styles panel.

Thank you can I in anyway make that into a graphic style? That's what I need so it only takes one click of a graphic style to fill the grid. Do you know if that is possible?
