The tricky part is where do you put runes that have to be taken off for a preset? Do they go in the general rune inventory? If that's full, then where? Do they just get randomly put on a hero you own that's not in your current preset formation? Many ways to skin the cat, but the best option is hard to decide on.
I have a lot of extra heroes that I recruited on the first 'free card Tuesday' that I use to store the runes I want to keep for future use so I can easily merge the runes that I get from the temple. I suppose that that would be a possible solution.

I would add that a stored formation that is now invalid can not be used, otherwise you could end up setting up your heroes with empty rune slots. The same would be true when you open new rune slots on heroes that are on a specific stored formation,
