By the way, bodyPr or lstStyle cannot be set in normal slide placeholder, if we want to keep same format from master.

@islide,

Please check the recording.
The first slide is added by PowerPoint, the second slide is added by Aspose.Slides.

  1. modify slide master placeholder text alignment to right.
  2. reset slide 1, it’s right, text alignment sync with slide master.
  3. reset slide 2, alignment is wrong, and text alignment cannot sync with slide master.

Solution:
Remove bodyPr or lstStyle from slide placeholder shapes to make sure placeholder can sync with master formats.
