Column settings are Per Library (Per Library settings are stored in the DB or metadata_db_json...)

The simple way is to create a New Library with those settings.
Viewing the desired source Library>
Right-click the Library Icon: Switch/Create: Create an Empty at New Location: TICK the Copy Structure box

Once done.
You can copy books from the OLD (the one without the settings) library. Select books: Right-click: Copy to Library

Note this trick will not work if there are additional fields (w/settings) in the OLD Library (you can not combine settings). Only the field will merge (with your approval)
