Description
If you edit a style in the Storage or the Script, and there is a style with the same name in the other set, that other style should also be updated at the same time.
The Default style should be excempt from this.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Often you'll find yourself having to edit styles in a script often, to find the right sytle, but you might forget to update the storage, since it's just a click or two too much every time :) This might be a good way to solve it.

It might be more sensible to only do the updating from storage to script, never the other way, and perhaps even only if the two styles were identical before the modification. If you really want to update in any other case, it's not many clicks away.

I also add: if the name of the used style is edited it would update edited style name at the grid styles colum too. Now if you edit a name, style stops working because you have to manually change grid styles to corespond style name change.

Changing the line styles I wouldn't like, just because it opens up for the possibility of creating a script that contains just one style. If there is a need to update the script's line styles, you could very well open up the ssa/ass in wordpad/notepad/some other text editor, and do a search and replace. Another would be just to select all the lines of the particular style (ctrl-click), and change the style in the drop-down styles menu.
Changing of a style name in the middle of editing a script, to me, only shows poor planning.

But it's also dangerous, in case you only want to override behavior in the current script. Maybe a popup asking if you want to update the equivalent in storage as well?
