Created attachment 125933 [details] example file with outline headings and numbering set Hi I originally filed this under Bug 100577 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100577, but it may be a separate issue. I have headings set up as outline numbering, and if I right click on a heading and select "continue previous numbering" to force it to the correct number and there is a bulleted list between the heading I am changing and the previous heading, the heading I am changing becomes bulleted instead of following the outline numbering sequence. Clicking back on numbered list instead of bulleted list does not return to the outline numbering sequence. This makes outline numbering fragile in a way that it should not be.

The numbering in the document is a mix of outline numbering and list numbering. Such mishmash should not happen if you create an *odt-document from scratch. Your document is a docx document and therefore goes through some import filter. If you will add a new heading to continue the numbering of the existing headings of the same level, go to an existing one and look at the status bar, to get the name of the used numbering style. When you then style your new heading, you need not only apply the correct paragraph style - which gives you the outline level - but have to apply the correct list style too. When the cursor is in that heading, double-click the list style in the "List style" category of the "Style and Formatting" part of the side bar. Right-click and "continue numbering" is the wrong method.
Thanks, Regina. I will close as notabug.
