Indenting Bulleted Lists in Lucid

Is there a way to control the size of the tab for bulleted / numbered lists? The current tab space is much too big for my needs and is wasting space on my diagram. Please and thank you!

Thanks for reaching out!  You can change the indent on bulleted/numbered lists.  It is accessed from the Text formatting option at the top of the editor.  

Hopefully this helps!

Hi Mariajose thanks for continuing this thread and apologies for the trouble! Can you please let me know if you are attempting to create this bulleted line of text within a shape or a standalone text box? Would you also please share a screenshot of what you're observing with this second line slightly indented so I can better understand the issue? Finally can you please let me know if this occurs in only one document or in any? Thanks for your help and patience!

Hi Micah. I am trying to create this within a shape. The weird thing is that if I copy and paste a group of bullets they bullets DO get pasted in but when I try to insert a new bullet even within those bullets I get the "no bullet" behavior. It occurs in any document where I try to create text within a shape from scratch or add a bullet inside a shape. Here is a snip of what I mean

Hi Mariajose thanks for that screenshot - I see what you mean where you would expect to see additional bullet points with each no line. Can you confirm that in this state when you press ctrl+enter to create a new line that the "Bullet" formatting setting is still applied within the Text Options menu?

Yes exactly when I check the text formatting options the system "thinks" that this is a bullet but only the first bullet is "bulleted" - it shows the way it shows in your screenshot

Hi Mariajose thanks for getting back to me and confirming! This sounds unusual - I've converted your post into a private ticket so I can reach out directly for more information. Please refer to your email for further communication!

I am also encountering this issue. None of the above keyboard shortcuts will indent or outdent a numbered or bulleted list. Should I submit a ticket to my transition team? I am in LucidSpark, working in a table. From the screenshot, I want 4 to become a. underneath 3.

Hi @sarahjustice

Thank you for the reply! In a normal text box you can achieve this by hitting tab on the second line. However, in a table this functionality is not possible since hitting tab takes you to the next column.
