Can Column Groups be duplicated/edited outside of Set Column Markers?

Anyone know where the Column Markers are stored? I'm hoping the column groups can be edited with the same simplicity as the wordfiles. I have several files with long record layouts. It would make things a lot easier to be able to just copy a group to a new one and tweak it rather than to have to enter all of the column markers for each layout.

I am using UltraEdit Professional Text/HEX Editor (x64) Version 23.20.0.34

Thanks

The column markers are stored in the file columnmarkers.xml in the directory of used INI file. So with default configuration the column markers are stored in file %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\columnmarkers.xml for UltraEdit and %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UEStudio\columnmarkers.xml for UEStudio.

I have never edited this file before in UltraEdit, but it looks like it is possible to simply copy and paste a group and change the group name. And it looks like the groupid and markerid do not really have an importance. At least the column markers with duplicated group and just group name modified worked well on a quick test.
