I don't think there
is any way to do this, but please point it out to me if so.
Just how we can
copy object styles in FM12, it would be great if we could copy an object's
conditional formatting.
Sometimes I'll get
an idea to use conditional formatting on an object on one layout and realize I
can use that same formatting on another object on a different layout. If
all I had to do was copy the conditional formatting from one object, switch to
the other layout and paste it on the other object, it would save some time
having to reselect all of the various conditional formatting options and leave
me with just having to tweak the conditional formatting calculation.

No, you cannot copy
and paste the conditional format.
I usually use this
trick.
1. Bring the object
include conditional format to the same layout.
2. Bring it to the
front ( It should be when you paste its object now, but you'll need this if
it's there since before. ).
3. Select muti
objects and open conditioanl formatting dialog.
4. It shows you the
settings you want to paste. Just select OK.
done! ;-)

Brilliant! Wish I'd know this a few years ago...
