Description TorrAB 2021-04-24 17:54:07 UTC
The 3 paragraphs in List1s.odt have style List1, which is supposed to be bulleted. The bullets may have been removed ‘by hand’; OK, try to restore them with ClearDirectFormatting (^m): no effect. Why?
Yes, I can apply the list style ‘by hand’ but, if I choose the ‘wrong’ bullet, the style will differ from standard List1 elsewhere in the document.
 Conclusion: the numbering style (including ‘none’) is part of the definition of a paragraph style and should be restored by ClearDirectFormatting (^m)

You haven't attached List1s.odt.

Seems like created with old LO, although updated with newer 7.1.
Newer LO separated the list styles from the "Styles and Formatting" list of styles. 
So I wouldn't expect ClearDirectFormatting to restore bullets - just reapply list style.
