Copy the style of stroke when using eyedropper tool

When I use the eyedropper tool on a stroke with arrowhead, the full style does not get copied - only color and weight (not arrowhead). I think it is expected for the arrowhead to get copied too, just like the color AND font get copied when you use the eyedropper tool on text.

As mentioned in comments, arrowheads are strangely the part of Appearance and not the basic stroke, and to get it copied you should tick 'Appearance' in Eyedropper tool settings (hit Enter when the tool is chosen). Then everything works. Please comment back if it does not for you.

    Arrowheads are strangely the part of Appearance and not the basic stroke, and to get it copied you should tick 'Appearance' in eyedropper settings (hit Enter when the tool is chosen). Then everything works (just have checked).

    I would like this an an option. Maybe you could have a key to toggle this on and off.

    Also would be nice to use the eye dropper tool to copy a gradient just as it has been used elsewhere. Not going back to default gradient.
