Text tool: Numbered list style type changes in Live Mode

    Asked on September 7, 2017 at 10:15 AM

    In our form BOD_2 we have a five item numbered list (in the builder), but when I publish it and open it in another tab, the numbered list changes into a bulleted list.

    I'm also having trouble with the PDF function - it doesn't create a nice PDF version of the online form. Unfortunately, not all of our rural counties have good Internet access, so we still need nice looking PDF forms for people to fill out.

    Any assistance that can be offered on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

    I cloned your form and I was able to replicate the issue. Please try the steps below to fix the issue:

    1. In the Form Builder, select the "Text" field and then click the "Edit" icon.

    2. In the Editor, click the "Source Code" icon.

    3. Look for the <ol> tag and edit it. You need to add an inline CSS attribute and make sure that the list-style-type is "decimal". Here's how it should look like:

    <ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">

    4. Click the "OK" button and then click the "Save" button.

    Here's the result:

    I got that to work. Thanks. Was there anything I did wrong that made the numbered list option not work from the WYSIWYG editor? Or is it an issue with that feature in the editor? Thank you for your help!

    Sorry for the delay.

    Upon checking, I found out that there is an issue with the Numbered list in the Text tool. I was able to replicate this in a simple form. In the Live mode, the ordered list style type is changing to "disc" instead of "decimal". 

    I have now escalated this issue to our developers. We will update you via this thread once an update is available.

    Thank you for your patience.
