Custom script for bulleted lists?

[jannac14452217]

Is there a custom script I can use to make a given form field appear as a bulleted list when the user enters it in paragraph form?

A script can be used to automatically add a bullet after each new line in a multi-line text field, if that's what you mean.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for, although it would be helpful if it added a bullet at the beginning of each line, instead of after a new line, since I want the first line to be bulleted as well.

So, where would I find such a script? I'm a scripting newbie and so far have only used scripts that I've found posted online. I have no idea how to write scripts myself.

You can use this code as the field's custom Keystroke script:

if (event.change=="\n") event.change+="\u2022\t";

And this as its On Focus script:

if (event.target.value=="") event.target.value="\u2022\t";

However, when first entering it the caret will appear before the bullet (and tab), not after it. I don't see a way around that at the moment.

That is hugely helpful. Thank you so much!
