"Set as Default Button" not keeping all state changes

The format painter will not copy states. What we are finding most frustrating is when creating a new quiz slide, Storyline creates multiple states for the answers. So if we are wanting to only have a normal state and a selected state, we have to go in and delete the surplus states for every single answer. Using the format painter does not remove the surplus states even when I delete the states on the first answer and use it for the format painter. The states to not transfer with the format painter and NEITHER does the formatting of the actual button.
