Research direction

Examine the easyexcel source code, particularly the template filling logic in classes like `ExcelWriter` and `SheetModel`. Focus on how cell styles are applied during template replacement. The user expects existing styles to be preserved; check if there is a setting or method to disable style overwriting. If not, this may require a feature implementation to support style preservation. Also review the documentation for template filling to see if any workaround is documented.
