From time to time we may want to relook our graphs and adding a node to a custom palette to be reused for another graph is great but on a large and existing graph, it would be so great to be able to copy several properties to any other node like we can do in M$ Office (paste format).

This could be really useful.

While I'm having margin issues at the moment, I have had no problems copying and pasting whole graphs.  I simply choose portion (or all) of the graph just as you would if you were going to move or modify the graphic elements.

This is my procedure:

1: choose portion (or all ) of graph

2: copy

3: open new

4: paste

I think you are  missing the point. OP wants to bulk change several properties of several nodes. Currently it is possible to overwrite one property for several nodes, but not two or three properties at once.
E.g. suppose there are ten red nodes with black borders, ten green nodes with white borders, and one yellow node with blue border. Then OP wants to change five red nodes and five green nodes to yellow nodes with blue borders by copying the yellow node and applying its fill color and its line color (but not its line type) to the ten nodes to be changed.
