Bullet list / Sub-bullet points
Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

Absolutely, not being able to use tab to indent sub-points makes the entire typing feature for notes barely useable.

Sarah Alkhafaji commented
The typing lacks features like bullet listing and automatic and continuous listing of headings and subheadings in a bulletpointed manner.

Be able to write and type in multi-level outlines (e.g., 1(a)(i)) instead of just single-level lists.

Hi I‘m missing bullet point for list in the built-in flash cards.
It would be great, because by making answers for some Questions, sometimes the answer needs a list with bullet points (excuse my bad english) -
Kinsley Wargo commented
Yes! I wish I could use the tab / indent key to create mutliple different levels in my list when typing.
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • Item -
Kinsley Wargo commented
YES PLEASE!
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • Item -
Kinsley Wargo commented
YES!! We need to be able to use the indent / tab key to create multiple levels on text lists. Typing bulleted listed without that feature is a mess.
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • Item -
Kinsley Wargo commented
Yes! And use the indent / tab key to create multiple levels.
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item

I still wish we could indent lists! This post is from 2013 which is making me lose hope GoodNotes will ever fix it.
We want INDENTED / HIERARCHICAL LISTS!
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • Item -
Kinsley Wargo commented
We need sub-bullet points too! I want to tab over to create multiple levels / a heierachy.
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • Item -

When typing a bulleted or numbered list, I want to use the tab / indent key to create multiple different levels.
Needed for both the "Full-Page Typing Mode" and the "Text Styling / Textbox" features.
For example...
• Topic
______ • Item
____________ • Detail
____________ • Detail
______ • Item
• Topic
______ • Item
______ • ItemThis is a popular request for document outlines, but it would also be great for text within notes & notebooks!

and also sub-bullet points.

The new typing mode is super useful to write down large paragraph text input.
The bullet list/number list are particular important for notes.However,
we will need sub-bullet points and sub-number lists. For example:
1. background
a) xxx
b) zzz
2. method.
a). xxx
b). yyy -

Please add more bullet/dot point options like in Microsoft Word, such as a) or a. or 1) or ° or arrows

I really love the new experimental typing mode. It would be great to be able to use it with graph paper and dot paper as well to allow for integration of typing and diagram drawing for science and math classes, etc.
Also, the bullet point and number list system is glitchy. You can not indent or make sub-bullet points, which I think is important. And you can only tab about halfway into the page before it starts a new line which is annoying. It would also be nice to change the text color of specific words.

It’d be great if you have sub bullet when you press Tab in typing mode like Notability.

Ru commented
- Bullet points and SUB bullet points option in tool bar
- Change text size through drop down text size menu instead if pressing + and -
- Presets for Title, Heading, Heading 2, Heading 3 text sizes
- Being able to choose a default text font
- Fixing common bug issues like not being able to type, the text box losing its colour, font and text size when copying and pasting, more stable experience -

Rather than more text box capabilities I say get rid of them and create a fully fledged text editor where the converted handwriting goes directly to the paper itself not a text box that moves around the page. I like this idea here:

Alexander Himmel commented
I often want to convert notes arranged in a hierarchical structure to text, but I need to recreate the hierarchy (bullet points, indentation, etc.) when doing the conversion. It would be very useful the text conversion could interpret the hierarchy of the handwriting as a whole and maintain the structure in the conversion.

I would love it if you would be able to add the addition of bullet points to the taskbar. It's very frustrating to use dashes as bullet points and have them not align.
This is would make Goodnotes much more competitive with Notability.
