Can the `addFormat` action overwrite an existing format with the same name?

Réponse

Yes, by default. The `replace` parameter is set to TRUE, which means if a format with the same name already exists in the specified library, it will be replaced. You can set `replace` to FALSE to prevent overwriting.
