Bullets & Numbering Formating

Bullets & Numbering feature is implemented but we cannot modify the applied bullet or number.
It would be great if there is option to modify Bullet/Number style, Color and Space between Bullet & Text.
I hope these points Adobe will consider and implement..

Please post bugs & feature requests to http://illustrator.uservoice.com

As long as that is not implemented, you can type a space before the list text and format it. To format the bullets, use the alternative bullets (plus a custom font). If you cannot achive indenting with the list indents, use the paragraph indents on top of them, they add up.

Hi @Brain Mapping Academy,

 

We are sorry for the trouble. A bug has already been logged with the product team, and it is under review.

 

However, you can try the Monika suggestions. I have attached a video. It is a very non-intuitive process, but it works. 
You can have different colours, sizes & fonts for the text and bullets & numbering. I hope this helps!

 

Also, I would like to inform you that this is expected behaviour in many other non-adobe apps as well.
People are using the workaround share above not just in Illustrator but in other apps like Pages, MS-Word etc.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

Thank you Anshul for the reply and Video,

The points which I have noticed are must required, is it correct or not taking the examples of other Apps.
CorelDraw has very good feature for applying Bullets & Numbering...
If Illustrator has such feature, it will be great..

Thank you...
