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!

thank you !....it is often more difficult to find these very fundamental settings than complex processes.
