It is not possible to set the type of bullet for a paragraph style within the "Shape style dialog". This happens in Draw, and by extension, to Impress. However, style dialogues for exclusive presentation text boxes (Title, Subtitle, Outline #) have a "Bullet" tab. Steps: 1) Create a new ODG document 2) Modify or create a new shape style. 2b) In the "Organizer" tab, the "Contains" section already shows a type of bullet 3) Try to edit the bullet style used in this dialog Result: It is not possible, because the corresponding tab doesn't appear Expected: It should be possible to edit the bullet style of a shape.
Is the dialog like that in 4.4, too? I can't see any style with those bullets in Contains.

Created attachment 116663 [details] Images styles dialog Hi, I don't understand what you mean but I'm uploading a screenshot of the problem done with LibO 4.4. However, I think this is inherited from OOo. There, you can see the dialog for the Default style for a shape in Draw. It has already assigned a default bullet (black thick dot). However, it is not possible to edit the bullet assigned to the Default style: the tab with the bullet format is missing.
Ok, sorry I was looking at all the other styles except default. Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 437210d58f32177ef1829d704f7f4d2f1bbfbfdd TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-06-18_07:21:56 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
No further input from UX needed. "Bullets and Numbering" is available to text fields from the main menu and taken into new styles per "New from selection" but shown as big dot and not editable.
The current implementation is weak. The graphic properties may contain a list style. LibreOffice writes such list style into the graphic properties, but it does not use it. Instead it handles the list style as direct (automatic) style of the single shape. And even "clear direct formatting" does not remove it. And manually removing the direct style and setting the list style name of the graphic properties instead, does not work. LibreOffice does not use it, but falls back to its default list style then.

This is a big issue for me. I am coming from Office 365 to LO. The point is that I just try the simple things and when my boss tells me 5 minutes before a meeting you should add a list with 3 items, but I need 2 hours just to find out that this is impossible, causes stress. All itemized lists have to have a red arrow as item character according to our corporate style policy. All Software I used so far have a setting for the item character. I wonder why Impress does not have this. It is also super confusing that the text boxes behave differently from itemized lists inside the containers one gets when selecting a slide style with boxes. Usually I only use empty slides but then i cannot add a box in which the items behave as i want it. At the moment I copy the box from other presentations into my slides which is a pain. In bug 170464 Regina told me that text boxes are graphics objects. Maybe this is the main issue, meaning text boxes should be text objects with the possibility to add graphics.
(In reply to muso from comment #7) > all itemized lists have to have a red arrow as item character > according to our corporate style policy. Format > Bullets and Numbering Character: Search (arrow) and pick one Color: red => pretty straight-forward The issue here is why this "red arrow" cannot be used in a style. Neither by editing nor when creating a new style from the current selection.
> The issue here is why this "red arrow" cannot be used in a style. Maybe you mean the same than what my issue is: I make presentations for different companies. Therefore I usually setup a default style, meaning for all new text boxes I add to a presentation, I will get the same bullet item style. To achieve this in MS 365, I set this up in a master slide, so I can use a certain master slide for the particular company. In Impress I cannot set a default text box bullet style for the master slide. (Or at least I could not yet find a way to do this.)
