Nested bullet point list formatting when copy/pasting is not ok

Hi, this topic is related to this one but no solution was provided so i decided to reopen a new one : Nested bullet point list formatting when copy/pasting into other apps or saving as HTML

When we copy/paste some text from/into other apps (in my case, a webapp which provide HTML), nested bullet points format is not ok.

Indeed, the bullet points in my web app are multi-level.

But if we paste this in OnlyOffice, we got one-level bullet points.

As the first ticket says, the problem exist in both directions , copy/paste into and copy/paste from.

Is there anything we can do to improve copy/paste compatibility between OnlyOffice docs and other applications?

Tested with :
Ubuntu 20.04 / Windows 11
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors v8.1.1.27
Chrome v128.0.6613.84 / Firefox 129.0.2

Thank you !
Florian.

Hello @flofloow

A bug was found in that thread. We are still working on it. Right now we need to figure out if your case is related to the same issue or it has its own scenario. Could you please specify what app are you using? If it’s possible, please record a video file.

Hello, thank you for the response.

Unfornately, the web app is a private application so you can’t have any access on it.

But the situation is quite simple, it’s a webapp which return some HTML content. And the list is a

    tag with
  • that contains other
      and others
    • .

      It result as a nested bullet points list. We use javascript Clipboard API to copy content.

      And then when we paste the content in OnlyOffice, the nested style is not preserved.

      For information, nested bullet points are keeped when paste into other editors (Word, Rich Text Editors as CKEditor for example)

And the list is a ul tag
with li tags that contains other ul tag
and others li tags .

We are also encountering said issue.

We have a drag and drop functionality and on drop event we add html to the document editor.
When we have a nested list (let’s say a ol list with a ul listed) the numbered list is like this:

Thanks for addressing this.
I have encountered a similar problem on files imported from LibreOffice. Many of the nested lists are aligned along the left margin. I appreciate your efforts.
