Modern Controls - Global Font Size

Hi everyone

I'm looking to start using modern controls in Power Apps now that most of them are out of preview. We develop a lot of Power Apps and currently use an app template when creating our apps. This template was created by modifying the template.json file so any controls added to the app automatically have a set font size, colours, padding etc, which can be controlled globally in the app using variables.

With modern controls though this template.json file doesn't seem to exist and I can't find any way of setting a global font size using the modern themes (you can set font type but nothing else). Does anyone know of a way of doing this with modern controls? At the moment, when I'm adding new modern controls, the font size and height of the control are always too small so I'm having to resize each time. I know I can copy controls but this doesn't work with some controls such as the form control where I need to edit each card label every time a new form is added.

Any pointers to any potential ways around this would be gratefully received.

@CU10061430-0 yes, the Modern controls and themes setting is turned on otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the modern controls. My issue is that when using the modern themes there's no way of setting a global font size or standard control sizes. For example, every time I create a new text input in an app the default height is 32 and I always change this to 40. With the classic controls we were able to edit the theme.json file so that all newly created controls used a variable for font size etc but this doesn't seem possible with the modern controls.
