RH2019 - Multi-level list missed in the css-editor

Only now it takes a very long time to open a project.

I can't see how the two are connected. Have you tried the old trick of deleting the CPD file and then reopening the project?

Yes, there is discuss of an Update all the way to 6 where the issue was still occurring. I did not see any further posts regarding a successful fix. I will see if I can get some examples of coding. 

Now that we are on the current version of 2019 Classic, I applied the "Find and Replace" fix mentioned in the thread. That has worked in fixing the issue. Only now it takes a very long time to open a project.

Ignore my suggestion for a new thread and just post here - I went back and did find a nested thread about Classic Update 2 - I blame lack of coffee this morning. 🙂 

Ah I missed that you said Classic before. I'd recommend starting a new discussion as this thread is about New UI, so nothing mentioned here will help you.

Given it was working with 2019 Classic (I assume) and now isn't, this suggests something changed within your project. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting, but perhaps if you post some screenshots of the style in the style editor, a list in the topic editor, and a snippet of the html code for the list (the top of the list and a couple of steps in). Use the Insert Photos icon to insert the pictures. Include details of what was working and what now isn't working so the full information is in the new thread.

I am currently using RH 2019 Classic. The multilevel list I have been using for almost a year is now switching over to the "Default" multilevel list anytime an edit is made to the topic. The "Default" multilevel list has missing decimals, close parens, uppercase and lowercase alpha mixed in. I am unable to edit the "Default" multilevel list.

I tried the Find and Replace suggestion, which worked to a degree. Everything looked great in RH; however, once in published view, the mutlilevel list does not display in any drop-downs they are used in.

I did reach out to IT. Version updates are being made for the RH 2019 Classic application to be on the most current version. Was curious as I was unable to find anything in the thread that a working fix was ncluded in a version update.

What specific issue are you having as there were a lot of different issues mentioned in this thread? If it's the problem with a bracket or dot going missing when you change things, I might have a solution.

Afternoon, has there been a solution to the multilevel list issue in RoboHelp 2019 classic. I just started struggling with this issue in our current project. 

@ChadPink This is a long thread with twists and turns. Try increasing the space between the numbering and the text. If that doesn't work then I would suggest starting a new thread.

HI,

is there any solution by Adobe in the meanwhile? I just updated RH 2019 classic to 14.0.5 and still have the problem, that the ML-lists are not working.

1. I'm assigning my multi-level list format in the design view: it looks as defined in the css.

2. Changing to HTML view or close the topic and reopen it: formating is gone, as well in the output.

My work-around procedure:

I found out, that the problem is, that the class in the rh-list is getting overwritten when you change to the html view to something like "p-[your-paragraph-format-name]". That has to be the name of your multi-level list.

So, before I create my output I start a search-and-replace:

class="p-[style name of assigned paragraph level 1]" --> class="[name of multi-level-list]"

class="p-[style name of assigned paragraph level 2]" --> class="[name of multi-level-list]"

class="p-[style name of assigned paragraph level 3]" --> class="[name of multi-level-list]"

Example:

Your List "mylist" is defined as followed:

lv1: assigned paragraph style -> "instruction"

lv2: assigned paragraph style -> "interstep"

lv3: assigned paragraph style -> "result"

search-and-replace your project as followed:

search for class="p-instruction" and replace it with class="mylist"

search for class="p-interstep" and replace it with class="mylist"

search for class="p-result" and replace it with class="mylist"

I strongly recommend to test this with a backup, because this makes changes in many many places

After that, everything looks as it should and I can start generating my output. As long as I don't touch the html view the formatting stays correct.

I'm still looking for a solution, because for me the multi-level-list is a main feature and the work-around isn't that handy...

I think its about cerating a multi level list.

In RH2017/2019 Classic there is/was a own menu to create such a list:

In the top bar:

As context menu

And in the styles pod:

Now there is only a "simple" list feature and no way to create such a list.
By the way we use multi level lists intensively. Only in this list type you can add a parastyle and thus add list style and para style to a paragraph with just one click. But unfortunately this does not work anymore even in the Classic version properly.
