Fix inability to copy formulas from cell to cell correctly in sheet converted from Excel
If I enter a NEW formula in Sheets and copy it to a new cell, the formula updates automatically. But if I try to copy an EXISTING formula in a Sheet converted from an Excel file, the formula does not update. This means that my existing Excel files are mostly useless after conversion to Proton Sheets. I just can't adopt Proton when this kind of limitation exists.

In Proton Sheets, copying cells does not preserve data validation or conditional formatting.
This forces users to rebuild rules cell-by-cell, which is absurd in a spreadsheet tool.
Data validation and conditional formatting are foundational features, not advanced extras. Failing to support rule propagation via copy/paste severely limits real-world usability.
