I'm building a form for an employment contract. While using the text field to add context, the formatting is disrupted and I don't know why. I have multiple screen shots to show you what is happening. However to briefly describe the issue: I have a numbered list with sub lists using lower case letters. In editing mode it looks proper. After clicking the check box it changes the letters into numbers. Then in preview mode it shows them as bullets instead of numbers. I cannot solve this issue. In this image i'm attaching is how I would like them to be presented (the screen shot is in edit mode). Please help!

I checked the form but I don't see the same text as in your image. But I understand what you're trying to achieve, I also assume that you're copying the text from some external document?
Anyhow, I'm afraid that the Text field doesn't support ordered list with letters.
If the numbers can not work instead of the letters we could forward this to our backend team as a feature request.
We'll wait for your response.
Thank you!

Yes this text is from a word document.
I have been editing and adjusting the form since I posted the question - so I apologize that it isn't the same. However still having trouble. I see that the text field doesn't support ordered list with letters, I would like to submit that as a feature request - how long could this take?
Additionally, I know that I could achieve the effect I want by using CSS. Is there a way someone could help me with this? I have saved the word doc as html and have tried to copy and paste the source code, but it does not work properly either. I don't know what else to do/what I'm doing wrong... This is frustrating the h*ll out of me

I am afraid that we cannot guarantee that the word formatted text could be compatible with the text editor at JotForm.
The general approach that we recommend is to paste the text without formatting, and then style it using the editor at JotForm.
I have submitted a ticket regarding the numbered list styling issue. There is no ETA for when it will be fixed, but we will let you know if we have any updates.
The next CSS should change all the ordered lists to the lowercase letters format on published form.
ol {
list-style-type: lower-latin !important;

Could you please provide the coding for something like this?
Greatly appreciated!!

The code my colleague provided will change the bulleting for the whole ordered list, so all will be replaced. But with little adjusting I made it look like this:
But there are several problems there, first I the starting bullet parameter cannot be changed (it should be start="2" for example but that doesn't work) so the second roman number in the list is one instead of two. Then I was unable to remove the dots, which shouldn't be there after roman numbers.
But feel free to check my test form: https://form.jotformpro.com/72645089351966
Let us know your thoughts.
Thank you!
