Unable to have a top-level ordered list in a List block

[hdodov]

Describe the bug
Whatever I type in a List block creates an unordered list, even if I type 1. followed by space. I can only have an ordered list when it's nested under an unordered list item.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a Blocks field in the panel
2. Attempt to write an ordered list

Expected behavior
You should be able to create either an ordered or unordered list.

@hdodov Am i missing something?

I agree with @hdodov that the current behavior is not really intuitive. You need to create a list block, then type something, select the text and finally change the list type from the toolbar.

For example in Notion there are way fewer steps: If you type -, you get an unordered list and if you type 1. , you get an ordered list. Without using the mouse at all.

I had no idea you get an options bar when you select the text, to be honest. I don't think it's good to put such an important functionality in a place that people might not know it even exists.

I agree that this isn't solved perfectly yet. We need to work on this.

Just want to put this back on the map – I really struggled with this too until I found this issue by googling. I always looked for it in the block settings (as in the overlay that opens up when you click the edit icon of a block), because it feels like a block-level option.

Also when I press CMD+A to select all and then try to change it with the toolbar it does not work, only when I use the mouse to select the text. (In Chrome)

Same as @ChristophLabacher

Can you please reopen this?
