Ok, I may be mistaken and the solution exists - it's just not so obvious, but right now I cannot find any way to apply mutiple text styles to the text layers.
What I did. There is a separate track on which there are my subtitles ugraded to motion graphics layers (they are highlighted):
What I need. During the editing I discovered there are some parts of the sequence the subs are not visible because the text color is the same as the background. So I decided to add a shadow to them.
Normally in such a case I create a text style and apply it to all the other mogrts on the timeline. This is a workflow I've had no issues in my life. So I created a text style:
Now I select all the other mogrt layers on this track and... see no field I can apply my style in:
Nor there is any way to copy styles and paste them as attributes (the Vector motion copies motion only):
The effect controls panel says there are multiple layers selected so go to hell:
So either I'm missing some secret workaround or this new high-end top-notch Properties panel has ruined the styles workflow and essentially made the styles useless.
So right now I can either go through every mogrt layer and click the texts one by one to get access to the Style drop down menu in each, or get rid of the shadows I've already created (one by one again) and apply a Drop shadow effect to all the mogrt layers. There's a third way - select all the layers and manually type values for all the shadow properties but this one made Premiere Pro hang twice so I'm not doing it again.
Any thoughts? Is it a bug or a feature?
To apply your text style to multiple graphic clips at once, follow these steps:
This will update the text style for all the selected graphics.

Oh, it's probably there. IF you have the right thing selected or in some cases, not selected ...
For example, the credit roll controls only appear IF you have selected the text you want to roll while the Properties panel is open. But then you deselect the highlighted text line in the Properties panel by clicking the blank space below it.
Voila!!!!!
Credit Roll controls appear below.
I'm not at the computer to mess with it to make sure I have the proper set of selections to get your answer, and I'm not going to do this from memory!
So hopefully Ann or Stan or someone will jump in quickly.

Thanks a lot. This is the only possible but an awkard solution for now. I think Adobe should take it into consideration that the Properties panel does not actually show all the properties. I'd never guess this solution myself, thank you
