Description:
The bullets options are limited.  Don't get me wrong there are a lot of bullets types to choose but the problem is you can't modify an individual bullet.  You can only choose one bullet style for all bullets in the list.  This is not ideal for several reasons but I specifically can't use LibreOffice for my digital bullet journal because of this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Writer.
2.Select any bullet option and create a list.
3.Try to change a single bullet to a different style (like indicating a task is done)
4. Observe the programs limitations.

Actual Results:
The entire bullet list changes bullet style.

Expected Results:
Yup


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Change a single bullet within a list to any bullet style independent of the others in the list.

You can choose a bullet for every level of the bullet list. Just choose the customise tab in the bullets and numbering diaog.

Does this solve your problem? => NEEDINFO

I assume, yo don't talk about different bullets for the same list level, because I've never seen that.

I am referring to different bullets for list level.  Give a quick search for "bullet journals" and you'll see exactly what I'm referring to.  In a bullet journal the bullets change in a task list on different factors such as completed, high priority, etc.  It is a very popular way to journal and usually done in a paper notebook. Unlike a task application a bullet journal is a more detailed way of organizing thoughts, priorities, and anything you want.  LibreOffice would be a great application to do it digitally if it had the option to have bullets that could be tweaked.

Thanks for clarification. I had a quick look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_journal and it seems to me like a completely new feature rather than enhancement of the current list styles. Let's ask design team for further input and decision.

1) define as many list styles as you wish to have different bullets (or take what we ship by default -> F11/Stylist: 5th icon at the top for list styles)
2) create paragraph styles that link to these list styles (Outline and Numbering)

Answering the initial question: Bullet options are not limited- it's rather the opposite. If you miss anything or have suggestions to simplify the workflow, just reopen the ticket.
