Description

I have an automation that creates a template for daily reports for my employees. It creates a set of bullet items that they should add items beneath. The automation creates the top-level bullet items. using DocumentApp.GlyphType.BULLET. When my employees add a child item under this, it is always a numbered item instead of another bullet. I have searched for how to fix this, but I cannot find it. It seems very easy to set the glyph type for a list item in the script, but I cannot figure out how to set the defaults for children that will be added manually

Code

 function insertListItem(text, indent, lastOffset) {
    const item = body.insertListItem(lastOffset, text);
    item.setGlyphType(DocumentApp.GlyphType.BULLET);
    item.setNestingLevel(indent - 1);
    return body.getChildIndex(item) + 1;
  }

Produces a bullet list item.

Output

• Machine inserted list item
  1. Human inserted list item

Steps

• Automation creates bullet items.
• Human clicks the end of a bullet item line.
• Human hits enter to add a new line.
• Human hits tab to indent.
• The new, manual line uses a numbered glyph instead. Since it's the second level, it's an "a."
